The author of The Way, Kristen Wolf, shares some thoughts about the book below. She's planning a trilogy!
I’ve always envisioned THE WAY as
taking place in multiple time periods. In fact, when I first started writing
the book, I alternated the story of Anna/Jesus in ancient Palestine with a
modern-day story involving a female archeologist.
By the time I was about halfway
through, both stories began to take on such lives of their own that each really
demanded their own time—their own book. So, rather than conjoining the stories,
I divided them, with the intention of writing the more modern-day story as the
second book in the trilogy. In that book, we would learn a lot more about the
history and life-cycle of The Way and its supporters.
In the third book, I intend to bring
the practice of The Way from the modern day and into the future. By doing so, I
hope to offer an alternative vision not only of spirituality, but also of the
future shape and nature of our world.
That's a fabulous idea!
