True Love and the Dragon Joyce Strong

Mary Magdalene's story reminds many of us of our own stories in one way or another. Her father abandoned the family, and her mother is bitter. Mary's losses and loneliness propel her through a series of events that fill her mind with demons and cause her to long for death. This haunting story speaks dramatically to all of us who have suffered abuse or rejection and their attendant shame-or simply disillusionment with what we thought was love. Mary's story gently leads us to true love, the only force that can defeat the Dark Dragon who seeks to overcome us.
