by Francine Rivers >> California’s gold country, 1850. Angel expects only betrayal from men since being sold into prostitution as a child. Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything, even obeying God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. At firsts she resists Michael’s kindness, but soon softens and is filled with overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. This powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea reveals God’s life-changing unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.
