People think of a saint as a kind of plaster statue: perfect, unchanging, consistent. But Shaw’s Joan is a person, with struggles inside her, like the rest of us.
How did a simple country girl in her teens persuade the French Dauphin, the nobles, and ordinary soldiers to let her lead them? Some said her secret was strength of character. Some said natural military prowess. Others called her a fool … or worse.
In a power struggle between the nobles and the church, one semi-literate girl won desperate battles for two years, driven by a single goal: saving France.
What would you risk to save what you love?
