In 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. She takes her vows—a choice
more practical than pious, but, in time, a seed of discontent is planted by the
smuggled writings of a rebellious, excommunicated priest named Martin Luther.
The 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. Luther’s
friends are quick to offer shelter, but Katharina longs for all Luther has
promised: a home, a husband, perhaps even a chance to fall in love.
