Saints & Sinners

by Marcelle Bernstein

Every saint has a past - and every sinner has a future. When Janie Paxton, a young journalist with a chequed and painful past of her own, begins to investigate the life of Mama - visionary, mystical healer, peacemaker to nations - old and terrible memories emerge. Time's mirror which is the true face of Mama? Miracle - or witchcraft? Absolute good - or unthinkable evil? Troubled and baffled, Janie untangles the complex web of disclosure and deceit that is Mama's history. She finds a woman irresistable as a force of nature who chose a path that can only have one end, and Janie's own life is turned upside down as she becomes a reluctant witness to the story of the century. Powerfully imagined, engrossingly readable, Saints & Sinners is a story of profound and shocking intensity.
