AUTHORBUZZ: ILLUMINATIONS (Fiction) by Mary Sharratt
What happens when a little girl sees radiant visions of the divine? Illuminations chronicles the unforgettable story of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), who was offered to the Church at the age of eight, entombed in a small room, and expected to live out her days in silent submission. Instead Hildegard triumphed against impossible odds to become the greatest voice of her age--a composer, prophet, polymath, and visionary.
