Extract 41

Only one carpenter in Nazareth today.
Mary's Diary is a work of imagination, no record of an actual diary exists! That said, this is not a work of fiction. It is rooted in the Gospels and researched regarding the cultural. My hope is that readers will become excited again in the reality of God's love and His tenacity in using ordinary people to demonstrate and be recipients of that love.
