And welcome to my website and blog page! I’m Angie Hunt, a mother to a brand new mastiff puppy, several spoiled chickens, and a family (which includes the most adorable grandchildren in the universe).  I’d like to introduce you to the first book in the Jerusalem Road series, DAUGHTER OF CANA.

Since most of my readers are women, I’m always looking for women to write about, though I write about men, too.  I was intrigued by the disciple Thomas—we are told he was a twin, but his twin is never mentioned, though several of the disciples had their brothers along for the ministry journey. So where was Thomas’s twin?

Maybe she was female!  Going on that premise, I created Tasmin, Thomas’s twin sister, and spun what I think is a credible story about her. This entire series will be set in the first century, during and right after the time when Jesus conducted His ministry in Galilee, Samaria, and Judea. The second book will focus on Pheodora, Jesus’ sister.

Didn’t know Jesus had a sister?  He had at least two. The Bible doesn’t give us their names, but His sisters are mentioned and His brothers are named in Matthew 13:55-56:  “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother called Miriam, and His brothers Jacob and Joseph and Simon and Judah?  And His sisters, aren’t they all with us?” 

Other than his mother and father, no one in Jesus’s family believed in Him until after the resurrection. I don’t blame them, however—I would find it hard to believe if one of my siblings declared he was the promised Messiah and Son of God. But to their credit, they DID believe after the resurrection, and many of them became leaders in the early church.

I hope you’ll read DAUGHTER OF CANA and come along for the entire series.
