THE RETURN OF MARY MAGDALENE is a romance set in 1985, during the lead up to the first worldwide television broadcast of a rock concert to raise money to feed starving Africans. Mary is a refugee relief philanthropist who is contacted by retired rock star Lionel Lionhart, who convinces her to set up and handle delivery of the food. David, the drummer in Lionels band - Taller - comes out of seclusion to participate. Mary goes from a depressed, world-weary girl who has seen too much death, to a light-filled woman because Love lifts her up into a new understanding of the true place of womankind and how the world was originally created to work.
