AFTER YEARS OF SUBMISSION, Mara lives in anxiety and isolation, unsure of herself and her place in the world. But when her nephew, Jesus, is chased off a cliff, she is thrust into the unknown and forced to confront her deepest fears. As she struggles against the patriarchal oppression of ancient Rome and Judea, Mara must learn to love herself, and also come to terms with her son’s sexuality, build female friendships and find her own voice.
Meanwhile, Joanna grapples with hiding her biracial heritage to avoid being banished by the community as her father was. But as she begins to question her self-identity, she must make a choice: continue passing as something she is not or risk losing everything. After the teacher heals her and her son, she listens to his radical ideas of love and equality and risks her life to follow him.Â
Forgotten Followers, a CIPA EVVY Silver Award Winner, brings to life Mara, based on Mary of Clopas, Joanna, and other often-forgotten women of the Bible.
