"For a long time, I kept these things within me..."
At the end of her life, with the last of the apostles gone, Mary-the mother of Jesus-gathers those closest to her and begins to speak.
This is not the story as it has often been told.
It is the story as she remembers it.
From the quiet hills of Nazareth to the shadow of the cross, Mary recounts a life shaped by promise, confusion, love, and surrender. Chosen, yet uncertain. Favored, yet burdened. A mother who held what she did not fully understand-and learned, slowly, to let go.
Rooted in the Gospel accounts and enriched with historical texture, A Sword Through the Soul is a reflective narrative that enters the silences of Scripture to explore the cost of obedience, the depth of a mother's love, and the mystery of a Son who belonged both to her-and to the world.
