Rating: - too good to be true!!!
This story was an inspiring tale about a young woman of 18 years old who went through so many hardships in life it was amazing she survived through the ordeal. The young woman's life is later saved by Micheal Hosea who's faith in God and in himself is constantly being put to the test as Angel is constantly running away until she can no longer avoid the brace of God's arms. I advice anyone reading this review that it is a very hard book to put down and it leaves you staring at the book when your finished ... Read More

Rating: - Tender and Moving. One of the best.
I found this book on Amazon while browsing the Listmania. After reading such complimentary reviews, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed.

Rating: - MOVING STORY
This is the first book of Francine Rivers that I've read. A friend lent me her copy and when I finished it, I went out and bought my own copy. I've read this book twice and I know I'll read it again.

Rating: - Great example of love
Micheal is a character who shows us an example of the unending patience of God's love for us. Angel is a character who shows us how much sin and shame can seperate us from the very thing we want...unconditional love. The story of how these two get together is a reflection of the way we come to know God. Francine Rivers ties it all together with a craft well honed. I can hardly wait for her to write more romance novels with Christian values reflected through out.
