Inspirational | Historical
With his empire in crisis, Augustus orders a young Roman spy
to find a sign of his divinely inspired power. Concealing
his real name, Pontius Pilate enters the Judean desert
seeking an unknown miracle. The moment he meets the striking
adolescent Mary, he senses that he is in the presence of
someone magical. Mary, vigorous, spiritual, and charming,
is a girl like many other teenage girls: full of passions
and weaknesses, surrounded by her loving family and her
close friends, steeped in the mystic traditions of the Jews
-- territory that defies Roman comprehension. The young
Pilate isn't wrong in believing that Mary is remarkable. On
the verge of blossoming womanhood, Mary's world will soon
open to love -- and to the miraculous. Full of mystical
realism and set against the lushly reimagined settings of
the biblical world, Girl Mary is the love story of
the beautiful girl, naïve and yet complicated, who beguiled
everyone -- even God -- with her soulful simplicity, and
whose destiny would change civilization in untold ways.
