Official synopsis Publisher
One evening long ago, three women in three very different corners of the world are struck by the light of a bright new rising star, and each feels compelled to follow it. The three women meet on a path of starlight, and together they walk through the hills to a small thatched stable, where a baby lies in a makeshift crib, surrounded by expensive gifts. The women have nothing to give except gifts from the heart — gifts that live on in the child’s teachings.
Mary Hoffman’s beautiful story, enhanced by Lynne Russell’s glowing artwork, gently reminds all readers of the contributions women have made to Christianity.
