In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with 18-year-old Jesus changes everything.

Sue Monk Kidd thank you for this story. It’s been a long time since a story has moved me to experience so many emotions. This is a masterpiece that I implore people especially women to read with an open mind, heart, and spirit.

Welcome to Desire by Design. No clothing beyond this point. When I imagined the vacation of a lifetime, it didn’t include a nude fetish resort. I foolishly assumed my bestie Jess and I would at least be wearing bikinis. This place is a hedonistic paradise, but I’m pretty sure I just walked through the gates of hell. At 23, I’m still a virgin, and an anomaly in a place like this. My innocence makes me vulnerable to all manner of pervs. Mason is my host for the week, my protector. He’s basically a prostitute and the world’s biggest tease.

The voice went with the character and the story was cute, sexy, and compelling. I'm looking forward to more audibles from this author and narrator.

I Enjoyed It Very Much
Revisado: 02-11-19
I'm starting to listen to more audiobooks so I can experience books on the way home from work in my car. I started this one on the way home from work Friday and finished by Sunday night. It was quite a unique read, and not at all what I expected from reading the synopsis or looking at the cover. But the characters and story kept my interest throughout and the reader's voice was such that it didn't take away from the story in any way, in fact, it complimented it. I'm looking forward to more books by this author.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13
The most important thing in the world to 13-year-old orphan "Naz" Andersen is keeping his little sister safe from the streets of a Chicago/Detroit-like urban ghetto known as the Exclave. Naz is ordinary, or so he thinks. He harbors a secret of which he is unaware. A seemingly random act of gang violence propels Naz on a path that leads to discoveries about his supernatural abilities, abilities that will ultimately decide whether he lives or dies.

All good!

What did you love best about IA: Initiate?
I love the pacing, how Winston took his time with the story and the introduction of characters. There's no need to rush into action scenes as with most literature today, and as a result, as the book progresses the story is richer and the characters are better developed. I love how the backstory is phased in which also gives the story depth. The chess scene and the maze scene are both riveting could have gone even longer. The theme and message of the power of the mind were also huge. And Meri is absolutely adorable.
What other book might you compare IA: Initiate to and why?
Definitely, Harry Potter with the pacing, coming of age, and hero's journey. Maybe the Percy Jackson books as well.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You will believe in the power of the mind to move mountains.
Any additional comments?
I read the book before I listened to the audiobook, and it was good. But the author and Marquette Winston do a good job of bringing and connecting the intended emotions along with the characters which I think is extremely powerful.
