- Synopsis
- Joseph of Arimathea runs away from home to go to sea. He soon discovers the secret of a mysterious voyage his ship made, which begins his involvement with Britain and makes his fortune. His home life is fraught with difficult relationships, but his love for his grandmother and for Sarah, who becomes his wife, and theirs for him is constant. He and Sarah spend time in Britain, where Joseph is forming a colony, and learn to respect the Druids. When Sarah cannot bare children, he marries a young Roman girl who gives him a son, and nothing else. After his first grandchild is born, Sarah finally gives birth to a daughter, who is crippled. She dies shortly after the birth. Helena, (Ella) meets Jesus, and he heals her. When Jesus is crucified, Joseph obtains permission to claim the body, gives his tomb, and is stunned when he hears that He has risen. Joseph does not believe in life after death, does not at first believe that Jesus is the Son of God, but does eventually, and his mission to spread the Good News begins. This book is also full of all the intrigue, color and pageantry expected from a book about the Roman empire.
