Publisher Description

Mary Madison was a child of unspeakable horrors, a young woman society wanted to forget. Now a divine power has set Mary free to bring life-changing hope and love to battered and abused women living in the shadow of the nation’s capital.

Mary is educated and redeemed, a powerful voice in Washington, D.C.—both to the politically elite and to other women like her. But she also has a past that shamed polite society. Her experiences created in her paralyzing fear, faithlessness, addiction, and promiscuity. At the crossroads of her life, only one power set Mary free and gave her a lifetime of love and hope. A power that could only be divine.

Peggy Madison is Mary’s grandmother, a quiet woman who has spent her life praying for her granddaughter. Peggy clings to the belief that God has a special plan for Mary. Through years of sorrow and longing, Peggy walks the journey in faith and watches from a distance as one key person after another comes into Mary’s life and demonstrates the timeless, powerful love of the Master, the Savior. The divine Lord.

Emma Randall is a single mother fleeing an abusive relationship, wondering whether there is hope for her and her young daughters. She is desperate, broken, and unloved, tempted to commit the unthinkable. Then Mary Madison introduces Emma to the greatest love of all, greater than any either of them has ever imagined.

"If it were published today, it would need serious improvements in the narrative form to keep up with the style of modern fantasy literature. Nevertheless, it has stood the test of time and deservedly retains the title of a classic."

    " Inferno and Purgatorio were good, but Paradisio seemed a bit repetitive. It had a lot of slight variants on the same theme. "

    " brutally painful to read, mostly due to the fact that this was a political satire about folks in dante's time and not really all the much about hell "

    " Got to the seventh level of hell and put it down. This is not a sit-down-and-read-it-all-at-once kind of book. I love philosophy and religion and The Divine Comedy is a feast for the imagination. I plan on finishing it later. "

    " I only read the "Inferno" portion of this book. It is full of graphic, violent imagery. Very entertaining. Also contains lots of historic political and religious references, so reading the notes is required and they are lengthy. "

    " What to say? I'm going back into it... want to compare other translations. Hitting the "I'm finished" button is at the same time a relief and a huge misstatement. How can you ever be "finished"? "
