Smart, strong, and a follower of the Jewish God, Lydia has nonetheless always quietly conformed to the expectations of
the wealthy Roman society surrounding her. Even though married off at fifteen to a man she dislikes, she is determined to
be a faithful wife. But when her husband is killed some years later, Lydia vows never to remarry and returns to her father's
house in Thyatira with her twelve-year-old daughter. There, a new life begins to emerge. // As she is trained in the
family dye business, Lydia's shrewd management quickly creates profit, prestige—and envy. At odds with her jealous
brother, who is a staunch Roman and can't understand her obsession with the Jewish religion, Lydia finds herself yet
again at the mercy of a patriarchal society. Will fleeing to Philippi be enough to protect herself and those under her care?
Will she keep her vow to widowhood when a handsome Greek God-fearer turns out to be more than just an employee? ?
And when she meets a strange man named Paul the apostle by the river one Sabbath day, will Lydia have the courage to
once more let her life be dramatically changed—this time forever?

Lydia, Woman Of Philippi and Isaiah's Daughter
