Taylor Hathcock, a wife and mother who holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Pfeiffer University as well as a Master of Arts in history from Southern New Hampshire, has completed her new book, "Death Doesn't Discriminate": a thorough discussion exploring the reasons why Scandinavian women might have turned to Christianity and abandoned their Nordic roots.

"'Death Doesn't Discriminate' is a preliminary study into Scandinavian women of the Viking age," writes Hathcock. "The book examines the religious motivations that Scandinavian women had to convert to Christianity. Namely, the study seeks to answer why women found Christianity appealing and chose to become Christian, setting aside pagan belief systems. The depictions of women in each belief system is explored both in daily life and in the mythology that underpinned both beliefs. The argument is made that what appealed most to Scandinavian women was the Christian afterlife."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Taylor Hathcock's new book is a fascinating look that explores the religious dynamics of a group often left out of historical records from the Viking period of Norse history. Utilizing a wide variety of sources and inspired by her love of Norse mythology and history, Hathcock takes readers on a thorough and eye-opening journey to discover the reasonings behind the migration to Christianity.

Readers can purchase "Death Doesn't Discriminate" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
