A powerful noblewoman or a humble follower of the holy man from Assisi? Giacoma cannot possibly be both.
Or can she?
Rome, 1210. After tragedy shatters Giacoma's world, Francesco intervenes to save her sanity, her life, and her soul. She owes him everything. Her gratitude is boundless – but now she must thread her way between duty and faith, always striving to be worthy of Francesco's affectionate name for her: "Brother Giacoma."
She's no longer locked into the power struggle among Rome's noble families, but she can't turn her back on her sons, her household, and Rome's poorest citizens who depend on her charity. The brothers' life of sacred poverty, begging for their daily bread, is not for her. But neither is she destined for Clare's cloister. A new path, as yet unexplored and unsignposted, lies ahead for Giacoma dei Settesoli, and she will have to invent it as she goes.
Based on the life of a real woman, this is the story of a stubborn quest for grace. If you like strong women of the past who insist on making their own way in a patriarchal society, you'll love Lady of the Seven Suns.
