Book Details

The Holy Woman

After Joe’s benign death and sacred burial, his chosen successor, Anna, is abandoned at the storm-ravaged hermitage as the others, including her husband, are wooed away by the masterful Chen. Loyal Jacob, the holy bodyguard, goes to Austria to raise money to care for Anna and her children and takes the holy man’s teaching with him. A Dutchman with his band of thugs pillages what is left in the hermitage, holy man artifacts to sell at auction. After a summer alone on the mountain, where she struggles with the idea of her appointed role, Anna moves to the town below. Time will tell if Anna is or is not the next ‘holy man’ and if the Dutchman and Chen between them will wreak further havoc on the hermitage and on Anna.

In short, elegant teaching chapters, weaving tales of both the good and nefarious characters, the story shows how all who knew Joe continue to be affected by his kindly teaching, sometimes in spite of themselves.

About the Author

Susan Trott

With The Holy Woman,Susan Trott has joyfully completed The Holy Man Trilogy which began with the best selling and much loved The Holy Man, followed by the less best selling,but still loved, The Holy Man's Journey. These novels, along with 12 others she has written, all received great reviews, over 40 Hollywood Movie Options, and 11 foreign editions.

No longer a marathoner,

Trott is a martial artist, (T'ai Chi)kayaker, and pingpong player. She lives on a houseboat in California in front of the mountain pictured on The Holy Woman cover.

“Trott is as wily as her sweet-spirited holy man, using her no-pressure storytelling style to lull readers into unexpected moments of wit and illumination.” Publisher’s Weekly

“Susan Trott’s parabolic gem shines with insights into the relationship between teachers and disciples. It also reveals that the world is a school for our own enlightenment. The Holy Man’s Journey is so simple and so profound that we can hardly wait for the next installment.” Values and Visions
