We know very little about the Virgin Mary. Only a few lines of The Gospels tell us a bit about her, although they are essential and very important. How was her life like before the appearance of the archangel Saint Gabriel? What did it mean to her to become pregnant without having completed her marriage with Saint Joseph? How did she experience the difficult first years of Jesus, including a hastened flight to Egypt? What did she feel when she became a widow or when her son left home? And, when she saw Him die on the cross? There are many questions about the human and spiritual aspects of Virgin Mary that this book helps us understand, giving us an intimate vision of the Virgin Mary, someone who is aware of what humanity suffers, because she has  suffered it first.
