To be honest, I'm not into Christian Fiction. I was a little embarrassed that I was reading a Francine Rivers book.
Rivers fictionalized the Biblical story of Hosea set during the 1850's in the American West. Mr. Hosea is the perfect, strong, protective, Godly, and smitten man. His impeccability is unrealistic, but then I'm thinking that Rivers wanted to show him as a God figure. Actually, I was frequently overwhelmed and aware of God's unchanging love for me as I read this book. The prostitute, named Angel, sees her sin and does not feel like she deserves his love. She tries to rid herself of her iniquity by working and also by cleaning herself. Time and time again, Mr. Hosea reminds her of his love and rescues her from her sin.
In conclusion, I'm glad that I read it.
