It’s 1947 when Sister Mary Agnes arrives in New Mexico. Her mission is to establish a monastery in the town of Roswell, where weeks before rumors of the crash landing of an unidentified craft have triggered a crisis of faith.

In seventeenth-century Rome, an arrogant and reckless artist named Caravaggio drinks and brawls his way through his violent, insatiable life, all while painting some of the world’s greatest religious works of art. But it is his bitter feud with Giovanni Roero, a brutal knight in the Maltese Order of St. John, that is his fatal error. Now, in the village of Monte Piccolo, a priest claims to have discovered a lost painting by the famed artist in the storage room of an orphanage. Retired professor A. R. Richman believes it’s a delusional dream.

In 1633 Holland, a woman’s ambition has no place. Judith is a painter, dodging the law and whispers of murder to become the first woman admitted to the prestigious Haarlem artist’s guild. Maria is a Catholic in a country where the faith is banned, hoping to absolve her sins by recovering a lost saint’s relic. Both women’s destinies will be shaped by their ambitions, running counter to the city’s most powerful men, whose own plans spell disaster. A vivid portrait of a remarkable artist, A Light of Her Own is a richly-woven story of grit against the backdrop of Rembrandts and repressive religious rule.

"Into The Light" erzählt den Transformationsprozess von Hass in Frieden zwischen zwei Menschen, die sich als Opfer und Täter in diesem Leben trafen und gemeinsam die Grenzen des Menschlichen und Erträglichen erlebten. Dieser Weg und Prozess schienen Ursula unmöglich - dennoch passierte ein höherer Ausgleich und zeigte sich ein tieferes Verständnis auf unerwartete und magische Weise. Die Vorbereitung dieser tiefen spirituellen Erfahrung verlief über zwei Jahrzehnte, genauso lange, wie der Weg durch die Dunkelheit der sexuellen Gewalterfahrung in ihrer Familie gegangen war.
