Bright Dark Madonna tells the story of Maeve, the Celtic Mary Magdalen after her intimate role in the mystery of the Resurrection. Will she emerge as a leader of the early church; retire quietly to mother a sacred bloodline; set sail for France to proselytize and go spelunking? An intrepid storyteller and engaging performer, Cunningham’s been known to sing and recite portions of her novel from memory at her festive events!
