Synopsis
Angel is forced into prostitution at an early age and ends up in a rough California town during the gold rush era. She doesn't know quite what to think when Michael approaches her, insisting that God has told him to marry her. She fights him tooth and nail, not believing that she is capable of giving up her old lifestyle and becoming a proper wife. Any trust she does gain for him only causes her more pain. Has she seen too much and endured too much to ever be able to adjust to her new life? Or will she cling to the only life she understands?
Review
This book is amazing in so many ways. The raw emotions are sincere and well portrayed. I couldn't help but become completely absorbed in this story. I definitely recommend it, especially if you like books that have a good message while still remaining true to life in their depth of emotion. It has the potential to grant hope to all who read it, giving us a welcome reminder that God is willing to forgive us, no matter how unworthy we feel.
Edgy Content
1) Prostitution, though tastefully handled. This industry was alive and thriving during the gold rush era.
2) Steamy romance scenes, sexual content and nudity, which felt appropriate for this particular story and was not extremely explicit.
