Katharine (Katharina Von Bora) Luther was Martin Luther's better half.

She narrowly escaped from the Nimbschen convent, experienced marriage with an unromantic beginning, and later became Luther's beloved "Kitty." She mellowed Luther's harsher side, kept the household from bankruptcy despite her husband's generosity, and enhanced his life with the excitement of family living.

With warmth and empathy, the author weaves together historical fact and fascinating insight throughout this novel.
