Vor Verfolgung müssen Aurelia und ihre Mutter aus der östlichen Hauptstadt Nikomedia fliehen. Aurelia nimmt zu ihrem Schutz den Namen Katharina an. Per Schiff gelingt ihre Flucht nach Zypern. Dort werden Katharina und ihre Mutter nicht nur von Verwandten aufgenommen. Katharina lernt dort auch König Kostus kennen und gewinnt durch Schönheit, Charme, Bildung und geschickte Umgangsformen seine Gunst. Kostus schickt Katharina als Botschafterin nach Alexandria, der damaligen Hauptstadt von Ägypten und Metropole unter römischer Besatzung. Privilegien schützen sie zunächst einmal vor weiterer Verfolgung. Sie erlangt die Freundschaft eines Kommandanten des römischen Heeres, Menas, sowie eines christlichen Eremiten, Joschua. Für ihre christlichen Ideen begeistert sie die Gelehrten der Akademie von Alexandria. Doch als der römische Kaiser wechselt, verschlechtert sich die Lage für die Christen in der Stadt dramatisch. Auch Katharina wird eingekerkert, zusammen mit vielen christlichen Freunden. Schließlich lässt der Kaiser sie enthaupten. Bevor sich aber die brutalen Schergen über sie hermachen können, wird ihr Leib von Engeln entführt und auf dem Sinai bestattet.

Drawn by the allure of whitewashed villages, red geraniums, and endless olive trees, they find their paradise—a quaint stone cottage nestled in a secluded mountain valley. Excited to transform their new abode into a welcoming guest house, the couple dives headfirst into their venture. With scant foresight and an abundance of determination, Sabina and Robert grapple with rogue builders, a lack of electricity, and the unpredictability of Mother Nature. Yet, it is amid these trials that they forge meaningful connections with their neighbors. As they adapt, they discover that life in the sun is far from the carefree utopia they envisioned. This poignant tale follows the duo's rollercoaster of highs and lows. From the monotonous routine of their past to the daily challenges in Andalusia, every moment is an adventure, an opportunity for growth, and a chance to rediscover the true essence of the good life.

The Joy Document: Creating a Midlife of Surprise and Delight by Jennifer McGaha

Title: The Joy Document: Creating a Midlife of Surprise and Delight Author: Jennifer McGaha Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: When Jennifer McGaha's grandmother was in her late eighties, Jennifer asked her what her favorite age so far had been. 'Fifty-five,' her grandmother answered, as though there were something magical about this stage of life. So, in her own fifty-fifth year, Jennifer began to take note. She jotted down her impressions of simple, everyday things that struck her as beautiful or humorous or intriguing and kept a list of all the accomplishments, large and small, that actually mattered to her. These observations became Jennifer's Joy Document, a radical act of reclaiming joy and an exercise in paying attention. When you are determined to find joy, almost anything can become revelatory—an Earth Day Whole Foods errand, Claire Saffitz's fruitcake recipe, a harrowing ride in Twinkly Taxi, an evening picnic at Dvorák's Symphony No. 8, or cartwheels in the driveway. While many of us at midlife have found all the things we've strived for (the career, the better life, the organization tools), those things only go so far. And the search for something greater, something truer, begins. Life after fifty becomes not the end or even the middle of life, but a new beginning, another grand adventure with endless opportunities to find joy. The Joy Document includes fifty rollicking and often humorous essays exploring the art of joy and inspiring the rest of us to do the same.
