Joan of Arc was burned alive in 1431, condemned for her heresy which deifed church and worldy authority. Since childhood, she claimed to have heard daily voices from God. Theses angelic messages miraculously guided Joan to drive the English out of France and end the Hundred Years War. Author Preston Russell traces her extensive trial testimony, seeking to find her own voice from five hundred years ago. He also examines her many faces evolving in world literature, theatre, and film, extending from Shakespeare and Voltaire to Mark Twain and George Bernard Shaw
