Inna Andreeva's book invites her readers into the difficult world of holiness - the world of Christian achievement, the world of love for God and life for God. Each of the holy wives - the heroines of the book - has found her own exclusive way of serving God. Righteous Juliana Lazarevskaya, having had a penchant for prayerful solitude since childhood, after many hesitations accepted pious marriage as the will of God, and having become a mother of many children and a widow, she tirelessly served the poor people around her. Queen Clotilde, by the firmness of her faith, led her husband to faith, and through him the entire Frankish people. Saint Pelageya of Sarov was saved by foolishness. And Saint Theodora of the Carpathians became a hermit. The highlight of the book was the story “Easter People”, the heroine of which unexpectedly gets acquainted with the life of the Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy, its founder - Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna and confessor Father Mitrofan of Srebryansky, the future confessor. Despite the fact that the heroine does not become either a nun or a sister of mercy, the memories of this monastery and its spirit remain with her forever.
