About this listen

A woman with a devastating secret. A man bent on proving his worth. A chance encounter that catapults them into the heart of history.

When the daughter of a prominent Roman general meets a disinherited Jewish immigrant, neither one can dream of God's plan to transform them into the most influential couple of the early church. Nor can they anticipate the mountains that will threaten to bury them. Their courtship unwittingly shadowed by murder and betrayal, Priscilla and Aquila slowly work to build a community of believers, while their lives grow increasingly complicated thanks to a shaggy dog, a mysterious runaway, and a ruthless foe desperate for love. But when they're banished from their home by a capricious emperor, they must join forces with an unusual rabbi named Paul and fight to turn treachery into redemption.

With impeccable research and vivid detail, Daughter of Rome is both an emotive love story and an immersive journey through first-century Rome and Corinth, reminding listeners once again why Debbie Macomber has said that "no one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."

A truely wondrous story

A beautiful story of God’s grace He extends to us and the amazing gift of forgiveness He bestows on us. It is also a story of love; love of family, love of friends and love between a man and woman.

A Beautiful Story of people from the Book of Acts in the New Testament

Once I got past the initial set up of the story with all the background of the characters, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narrators voice. This is the third book that I’ve listened to by this author. I enjoy the way she describes this era of history and the way people lived. It’s a heart warming story filled with action, romance and a few twists.

A purpose and a plan

What a delight it is to listen to Tessa’s stories.They always leave me in awe of the depth she brings to these Bible stories and its deeper meanings.Like when all seems hopeless in our limited vision a plan for good unfolds so much bigger than we can imagine.Loved the narration.Loved the story.
