Publisher's summary

St. Peter's Square, Rome.

White smoke signals that a new Pope has been chosen.

Is it possible that the new Pope...is a woman?

The world is watching as massive crowds gather in Rome, waiting for news of a new pope, one who promises to be unlike any other in history. It's a turning point that may change the church forever. Some followers are ecstatic that the movement reinvigorating the church is about to reach the Vatican, but the leading candidate has made a legion of powerful enemies who aren't afraid to kill for their cause.

Faith has never come easy for Brigid Fitzgerald. From her difficult childhood with drug-addled parents to her career as a doctor healing the wounded in Sudan to a series of trials that test her beliefs at every turn, Brigid's convictions and callings have made her the target of all those who fear that the church has lost its way - dangerous adversaries who abhor challenges to tradition. Locked in a deadly, high-stakes battle with forces determined to undermine everything she believes in, Brigid must convert her enemies to her cause before she loses her faith...and her life.

Spanning the globe - from the drug dens, high-powered law firms, and churches of Boston to the horrific brutality of a civil war in the Sudanese desert to the beauty, violence, and spiritual enlightenment of the Holy Land - Woman of God is an epic, thrilling tale of perseverance, love, trust, and nothing less than what it means to live in a fallen world.

Critic reviews

"A high-concept pitch, a potboiler on the page, and a protagonist to cheer for..." ( Kirkus)

WOW!!!!!! What a great book

I agree with the other reviewers. This book was awesome and I listened to it in almost one sitting. It actually took me a day.
I loved the premise of the book and the narrator was excellent. Stop reading and get the book already. It is well worth the credit and will not disappoint!

Hope and Faith

Hope and faith , strong woman of faith . very good read, enjoy the book

HUGE departure from

The norm for James Patterson...although the book was fairly good, I was expecting something else. I expected intrigue and mystery throughout the book however it didn't seem to be there. The book was engaging however I did feel it lacked a clear plot. Coming off of a nonfiction high from Really Bad Girls of the Bible, Undivided and Seeking Allah Finding Jesus, this book was able to hold my attention. I just couldn't get into it like I normally do with James Patterson because I wasn't expecting the storyline
I was good for my longs runs though

Thrilling

This book kept me on the edge of my seat, excited to know what was coming next!

This book is AMAZING!!!!

From the moment this book began to the point it ended had me hooked and I truly enjoyed this book!!!!

Captivating

Hated to hit the pause. You want to know what is going to happen in her life next.

Had me at the prologue!

Had me at the prolong and the story did not disappoint. Blew me away. WOW

Loved it

My favorite James Patterson book and I think I have read them all! The reader did a fantastic job

Not an Airport Read

I read/listen to many types of literature, and never thought this masterpiece of fiction would be my "thing". The genre many refer to as "airport reads" is a miscarriage of justice when used by any to label this work. I can taste every image, and I stop participating in other leisure activities just to sit and listen to this visceral event. I'm listening to it while I wash every dish, dust every shelf, and prepare every meal. With an abundance of anticipation, I look forward to listening to this story a second time, probably a third and more.

It went on and on

It was a great story at first. But it was pretty boring and I couldn’t finish it
