The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas, published in 1942

Because she was only fifteen and busy with her growing up, Lucia's periods of reflection were brief and infrequent; but this morning she felt weighted with responsibility.

Since its first publication in the 1940s, The Robe has sold over six million copies and enriched the lives of tens of millions of readers and moviegoers. Although set at the time of the crucifixion and telling the story of one man who was present at that crucial event in the history of the world, The Robe is timeless in its message. Now its enthralling story is back and ready to enlighten the lives of a new generation of readers. It is more than a novel; it is a deeply felt and deeply moving parable of one man's quest for faith and truth in a godless world. - from Goodreads.com

Something to Write Home About:

Think of your favorite literary female character. Describe her characteristics and personality traits. What do you find appealing about her? Why do you think you connect with her? Is she at all like you? Now think about whether you'd like to know her in real life. Would you like to be friends with her? A sister? A daughter? Her? Why or why not? Come give your answer in the Literary Fiction Forum, under the Something to Write Home About thread! We'd love to see your answers!
