From the DJ: "Bodker has written a very human Nativity story, seen from the perspective of Mary, a young woman who has never been far beyond the confines of her small village. The book follows Mary's son Jesus until he is old enough to begin work in his father's carpentry shop. But this is primarily the story of Mary's own growth into a mature young woman who accepts her remarkable destiny in a society where the unusual is most often regarded as threatening more than miraculous.
