About this listen

Purple. The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world. But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything. With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances - along with her father's precious dye - help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow until Lydia meets the Apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.

Wonderful Story

This was truly an enjoyment to listen to. The story was well written and the narrator had pleasing voice full of emotion. I hung on every word and felt myself being caught up with this story.

Tessa Afshar is becoming my favorite writter.

So much more than a romance novel.
my favorite part is everything after Paul and the other men show up. No, make that after 20 years. No, make that after she moved to Phillipi. No, make that ... well dang, make that the whole book. Excellent story, written well, no loose ends... I will probably read it again and again.

Delightful and inspiring!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bread of!Angels! The story of Lydia was full of heart a d heartache, fear and courage, Faith and love! I love purple myself, and enjoyed cheering for this you g woman overcoming the odds! There was just enough direct Biblical references to make it feel familiar but deepening my Vision of the Philippian church
