Through Esther's Eyes depicts the life of the beloved and despised Jesus of Nazareth through the bright green eyes of his fictional cousin, Esther. Like the classic novel, The Red Tent, meeting the acclaimed movie, The Passion of the Christ, Through Esther's Eyes transports readers to first-century Palestine.
When Esther falls in love with Lazarus of Bethany, she thinks that her role as a woman will be complete with their marriage and many children. But Esther finds that she is barren, which means that she is a sinful, incomplete woman in Jewish society. Yet, her cousin Jesus is ready to change the role of "woman" for all eternity.
Esther discovers her role as "woman" by imitating and speaking to Jesus' mother, her Aunt Mary. Hidden in the action of the plot is an experience for all women to discover their purpose and worth modeled after the Blessed Virgin Mary. The "Letter of Pope John Paul II to Women" comes to life in this narrative.
