Synopsis
In the second installment of Anne Rice's bestselling series chronicling the life and times of Yeshua of Nazareth (aka Jesus Christ), Yeshua is now 30 years old and fully aware of his divine status, though he has yet to begin to preach the word of God and commit to his ministry. In fact, he's troubled by more human concerns, such as his feeling towards a troubled teenage girl, and the gossip of the townspeople who wonder why he has not taken a wife. Rice sticks close enough to the gospels and Christian orthodoxy as she tells of Yeshua's travails, his journey in the desert, and his confrontation with Satan to please Christian readers, while simultaneously providing enough scandal and titillation to sate the desires of her multitude of vampire-novel fans.

Industry Reviews
"THE ROAD TO CANA perches on the brink of blasphemy. But it succeeds in treating Yeshua's humanity as an essential part of his divinity....And Ms. Rice, when inspired, can deliver hypnotic, incantatory prose that celebrates Yeshua's ascension."
