Memoirs of a pilgrim mother

History would come to know her as Helena Augusta, mother of Emperor Constantine. But she preferred to call herself a 'pilgrim mother'. This novel takes us on the tumultuous inner and outer journey of an extraordinary woman, whose life took an unexpected turn: from a humble innkeeper in Bithynia, she found herself catapulted into the company of the man who would reshape the destiny of the Empire. This is the story of an unexpected love and a heart-wrenching motherhood, but also the tale of a woman who, amidst the intrigues of power and personal tragedies, seeks her own path. From her time at the side of Constantius, the man who chose her, to the deepest pain caused by the ambitions of her son Constantine, Helena undergoes a spiritual transformation. Amidst the dusty roads of the provinces and the secret corridors of the court, she discovers the true meaning of faith, redemption and justice, in a world where survival is a daily struggle.
