To erase her body, he had to be diminished...
"I got the idea to write a novel in Joseph's voice, after doing a study of church-controlled art in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Europe. So many paintings depict Joseph as impotent, decrepit, and physically disconnected from Mary.
He was so superfluous, and she was so perfect.
Looking at these paintings haunted me.
Why?
Because this was the family model for Western Civilization."
- Alana Levandoski
A quick search on the internet also shows that we often diminish Joseph today...

Introducing
JOSEPH - the Novel
Historical Fiction
JOSEPH takes you on a fictional journey inspired by Biblical texts, and historical documents, apocryphal texts, and folk legends, from Joseph's boyhood to the end of his life.
Love Story
This novel is about family, fear, betrayal, hope, struggle, and ultimately, it is about deep, devotional, alchemical love.
Hunted
The novel JOSEPH careens through the Roman provinces, offering very real glimpses of a Hellenized Judea, Galilee, Jerusalem, the Library of Alexandria, the Silk Road, and the Mediterranean Trade Routes.
JOSEPH is an EPIC page turner, and a love story, set in a violent culture clash, working with scholarship, folklore, and the audacity to toy with various theories on unanswerable questions.
"I've noticed how much good and brave scholarship so often has the agenda of stripping these stories of their many mystical layers. I wanted to dig deep and write both very earthy, very human characters, who were so espoused, they would have needed to get a legal divorce to separate. But they were also expected to follow dynastic protocol, so their heir would be born at the proper time.
I wanted to tell this love story without erasing the spirit and mystery so central to the accepted narrative."
- Alana Levandoski
