About this ebook
A female priest unexpectedly becomes one of the top candidates for Pope—but she's made some powerful enemies who will stop at nothing—not even murder, in this thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author.
The world is watching as massive crowds gather in Rome, waiting for news of a new pope, one who promises to be unlike any other in history. It's a turning point that may change the Church forever. Some followers are ecstatic that the movement reinvigorating the Church is about to reach the Vatican, but the leading candidate has made a legion of powerful enemies who aren't afraid to kill for their cause.
From a difficult childhood with drug addled parents, to a career as a doctor on the front lines in Sudan, to a series of trials that test her faith at every turn, Brigid Fitzgerald's convictions and callings have made her the target of all those who fear that the Church has lost its way—dangerous adversaries who abhor challenges to tradition.
Locked in a deadly, high-stakes battle with forces determined to undermine everything she believes in, Brigid must convert her enemies to her cause before she loses her faith ... and her life.
From a civil war in Sudan to the drug dens and law firms of Boston, Woman of God spans the globe with a thrilling tale of perseverance, love, trust and what it means to live in a fallen world.

I loved this book!, uplifting, honest, well written and real in its portrayal of the Romans Catholic Church and it's 2 faced edicts. A must read for those who feel loving God should be shared by all, and not regulated by Church and doctrine.

This was a brutal, extremely uncomfortable book to read. I gave up about a third of the way through. Would not recommend it to anyone

This was not the quality of read that James Patterson is known for. If this would have been the first book of his for me to have read it would have been the last.
