\"Woman<\/p>\n

From Goodreads<\/i><\/p>\n

St. Peter’s Square, Rome.<\/p>\n

White smoke signals that a new Pope has been chosen.<\/p>\n

The world is watching as massive crowds gather in Rome, waiting for news of a new Pope. It’s a turning point that could change the Catholic Church forever, as one of the rumoured candidates, Brigid Fitzgerald, would be the first female Pope in history.<\/p>\n

But Brigid has made a legion of powerful enemies and is a target for all those who fear that the Church has lost its way \u2013 dangerous adversaries who won\u2019t accept challenges to tradition.<\/p>\n

Locked in a deadly, high-stakes battle with forces determined to undermine her, Brigid must confront her enemies before she loses everything… including her life.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Woman<\/a>
Woman of God<\/a> by James Patterson<\/a>
My rating: 2 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

Parts of this were quite moving. I think as an ex-Protestant it was difficult to understand the Catholic passion for the rules within their religious beliefs. The main character has a tough life and many incidents of grief to handle, maybe too many. At the end of the day it felt more like a religious brochure than a novel, but I have no doubt some will love it with a passion. Interesting read but not one I will seek out a sequel for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
