Before he became the sainted church father of Christianity, Augustine of Hippo began a love affair with a young woman whose name has been lost to history. They were together for over thirteen years, and she bore him a son. This is her story. She met Augustine in Carthage when she was just seventeen years old. She was the daughter of a mosaic-layer. He was a student and the heir to a fortune. They fell in love, despite her lower station and Augustine s dreams of greatness. Their passion was strong, but the only position in his life that was available to her was as his concubine. When Augustine s ambition and family compelled him to disown his relationship with the her, X was thrust into a devastating reality as she was torn from her son and sent away to her native Africa. A reflection of what it means to love and lose, this novel paints agripping and raw portrait of ancient culture, appealing to historical fiction fans while deftly exploring one woman s search for identity and happiness within very limited circumstances."
