The Bringer of Happiness

From the award-winning writer and director of The Women’s Jail Project and author of Dancing the Labyrinth, comes an evocative tale that unashamedly merges renowned historical characters and events into a spellbinding story of destiny.

“I should have assumed with parents known to the world as Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, I would be different.”

It is not lineage that determines Sara’s difference, but her ability to time travel into other people’s bodies. Finding herself within a young Cathar girl from Montségur during the 13th Century religious siege, Sara believes it is her destiny to save her.

Narrated by the daughter of Mary Magdalene, the Bringer of Happiness delves into religious ideologies and heresies. As our histories become unstuck, the patterns of power through religion are shifting, making way for new narratives. This book is part of this process.

The Bringer of Happiness is a compelling (almost) true tale comprised of history, myth, and imagination.
