Author Paul Rushworth-Brown interviews Karen Martin

Book Title: The Bringer of Happiness Imagine if Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a daughter who could time travel and believed her destiny was to preserve her mother’s work from the massacre of Montségur. This could be her story. “I should have assumed with parents known to the world as Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, I would be different.” It is not her lineage that makes Sara different. It is her ability to time travel forward into other people’s bodies. Sara, whose Aramaic name means ‘bringer of happiness,’ travels into Sarah-Marie, a young Cathar from Montségur. Sara is determined to save her from the 13th Century siege. The Bringer of Happiness is a compelling (almost) true tale comprised of history, myth, and imagination. Our histories are becoming unstuck. The patterns of power through religion are shifting, making way for new narratives. This book is part of this process.
