Publisher's Summary

Come on a whirlwind ride across time and place with one of the most recognizable figures of Western history - Joan of Arc.

We all know of her, but few know the details of her life. Travel back in time, through the words of the maid, in a series of imaginary interviews conducted by the author.

Join her on her journey from shepherdess to warrior woman, to her rise to sainthood. Enjoy Joan’s own words, recorded through two arduous trials. Listen to her own descriptions of the many battles and political maneuvers she lived through and starred in.

Admire her courage and stoicism when wounded, her compassion for the enemy, her battle strategies and her horsemanship. Under the duress of imprisonment and trial, she still maintained her sense of humor, to the point of making her accusers and judges laugh-out-loud.
 

Five hundred years later, the Catholic Church who condemned her as a heretic, made her a Saint.

Come with Joan the Maid. Ride the wind. Choose the fire.
