The Woman from Banias

When Publius hears that his childhood sweetheart is a widow, he heads straight out to Palestine to try and win her - but there's a problem. Secunda is gravely ill and none of the doctors can help her.

Publius stays as long as he can, but after he leaves, Secunda hears of the one Man who can help her and when He does, she offers Him a statue for which I am still looking - I'm an archaeologist when I'm not writing books.
