Lydia

As love and faith collide, Lydia must choose between forgiveness and the quest for justice.

Lydia bat Joseph dreamed of escaping her cramped family home to explore the world, but tradition and familial expectations kept her bound to her role.

When her oldest brother’s radical teachings and miraculous deeds reveal Jesus as the Messiah, Lydia exchanges her self-centered life for one devoted to serving others. While aiding new converts in Jerusalem, she falls deeply in love with Stephen, a devoted deacon whose humble spirit and bright eyes capture her heart.

Tragedy strikes before their vows are complete when local Pharisees murder Stephen, evading justice under the guise of religious duty. With her beloved taken from her, Lydia is left grappling with her faith and her path forward. Will she cling to the teachings of forgiveness her brother shared, or will she abandon her faith in search of justice for her fallen love?
