World Between Worlds: Chapter One
<p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.jennydubay.com/store"><strong>World Between Worlds</strong></a> is Jenny duBay’s novel based on the early life of <strong>Caterina di Giacomo da Siena</strong>, better known as <strong>St. Catherine of Siena</strong>—one of the most dynamic and beloved saints of the Middle Ages. The first of a two-part series, Jenny is currently working on Game of the World, the sequel to World Between Worlds. </p><p><strong>And now, as a special gift to the readers of Missio Dei, I’m offering the first chapter of </strong><strong>World Between Worlds</strong><strong> for free in this audio version.</strong></p></p><p><strong>About </strong><strong>World Between Worlds:</strong></p><p>In the words of Franci Revel Eckensberger of <a target="_blank" href="https://palomaandfig.com/worldbetweenworlds/">Paloma & Fig</a>:</p><p>“In Jenny duBay’s vivid Siena, we’re placed in a medieval atmosphere of church bells and incense drifting on the air, candles flickering over a tumultuous childbirth, the austerity of the curia a setting all its own. Plague stalks the entire work and infuses the mystical with inevitable mortality. We touch the raw wool that Catherine’s father dyes for a living and feel the arid heat of a city in perpetual drought, inhabited by a people marked by war and political turmoil. Though focused on Catherine’s young life, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jennydubay.com/novels">World Between Worlds</a> lays the foundation for everything that is to follow. The woman who would go on to help return the papacy to Rome and change countless lives across centuries is illustrated by duBay with honor and curiosity. Humanized yet never diminished from her saintly status, this Catherine fears her own selfishness, navigates her lack of formal education, and is acutely attentive to others’ perceptions. She is given a self-consciousness and a rich private life that doesn’t tip into hagiographic flatness or tedium.”</p><p>If you’d like to receive a PDF of the first chapter, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jennydubay.com/wbw-first-chapter">contact me</a> and I’ll be happy to send it to you.</p><p>About Game of the World:</p><p>Taken from a saying by Pope Pius II, the pope who canonized St. Caterina, Game of the World will take readers through the turbulent final years of Caterina’s life: a world of Florentine intrigue, papal politics, and the personal betrayals that came with changing the course of the Church.</p><p><strong>As Christendom fractures around her, a mystic becomes a diplomat—and discovers that saving the Church may cost her everything but her soul.</strong> Drawing on the later, politically charged years of Catherine of Siena's life, this novel follows her bold campaign to return the papacy to Rome and the devastating schism that follows. Caterina must confront the corruption of the world, the collapse of Christian unity, the surrender of her own freedom in obedience to God's will, and the cost of being chosen for a mission that reaches far beyond her earthly life.</p><p><p><strong>You can purchase a signed copy of</strong><strong> </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.jennydubay.com/store/p/world-between-worlds-a-novel-based-on-the-early-life-of-caterina-mystic-of-siena"><strong>World Between Worlds: A Novel Based on the Early Life of Caterina, the Mystic of Siena</strong></a><strong> </strong><strong>directly from my website.</strong></p><p>You can also purchase on <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3TqkN0L">Amazon</a> using my <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3TqkN0L">affiliate link</a>.</p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
