description: Germany 1505In the dark of night Katharina von Bora says the bravest good-bye a six-year-old can muster and walks away as the heavy convent gate closes behind her.Though the cold walls offer no comfort Katharina soon finds herself calling the convent her home. God her father. This her life. She takes her vowsa choice more practical than piousbut in time a seed of discontent is planted by the smuggled writings of a rebellious excommunicated priest named Martin Luther. Their message? That Katharina is subject to God and no one else. Could the Lord truly desire more for her than this life of servitude?In her first true step of faith Katharina leaves the only life she has ever known. But the freedom she has craved comes with a price and she finds she has traded one life of isolation for another. Without the security of the convent walls or a family of her own Katharina must trust in both the God who saved her and the man who paved a way for rescue. Luthers friends are quick to offer shelter but Katharina longs for all Luther has a home a husband perhaps even the chance to fall in love.
