We have coined a Hebrew word ‘Sheysh’, which means “six” ( silk thread often woven from six cocoon filaments. ‘Sheysh’ means silk woven with linen. ‘Sheysh’ expresses something English words do not, about style, beauty and authentic understanding of ones place in relation to the beauty of nature. Everyone in their time wore sheysh.

WHAT WOULD MARY AND JESUS WEAR TODAY TO CELEBRATE EASTER, ATTEND THE ROYAL WEDDING OR TO A STATE DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE?

In this beautifully crafted historical novel, the reader is guided through a time rich with art and architecture, and fraught with change and controversy. Mary’s narration introduces us to first-century Judea, when the atmosphere crackled with fear, and determination of friend or foe was often difficult, if not impossible. As much as theologians paint the story about Mary and Jesus as straightforward and even simple in nature, the author reminds us that theirs was a love weighed down and complicated by the politics of the day. The story of Mary, and then Mary and Jesus, is intricate and often as perilous as the times in which they lived. Founded on historical accuracy and an eye for a well-told story, this is a novel that will fascinate and delight.
