Three men go to sleep and have a similar dream. In it, a young woman appears to them. While they know nothing of her, she knows quite a lot about them. One is a judge; one is an ambitious businessman and the third is a man struggling to find meaning in his life's work. None of them suspect that the strange woman they meet in their dreams will affect their lives in ways that prove to be fatefully consequential. Her name is Perpetua, a young woman and mother arrested, condemned and executed in North Africa in the first decade of the third century, a time when Roman law sanctioned the public scourging of any that might threaten the supremacy of the established order, especially those self-confessed adherents of a radical and growing sect of believers called Christians. Perpetua was one of them. This story is about her rendezvous with three lives in the twenty first century and the choices made by those she encounters that will determine their individual fate. One man is proud, unforgiving and self-righteous; another is wealthy. ambitious and uncaring. A third is grappling with the conflicting impulses of choosing a career based on his desire to engage in meaningful work and the monetary needs of his family. Though unknown to each other, this night will change their lives forever as each man's dream will become each man's destiny.
