A Story of Love That Won’t Let Go—No Matter What Soon to be a major motion picture, directed by D. J. Caruso and starring Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis, Nina Dobrev, with Logan Marshall Green and Eric Dane, special appearance by Famke Janssen. California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything. Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does … the One who will never let her go. A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a lifechanging story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.

"It was AMAZing.I read it really fast, I couldn't get enough of these characters with their hopes and dreams and broken hearts.I was truly moved to the the love of God play in these people's lives and that everything truly does work out for good for those that belive in him. Sarah(Angel,Tirzah,Amanda)was a coourageous and strong woman whose past that haunts her breaks your heart and you're rooting for her the whole way.She and Michael's love is so strong,but that's because God is in Michael and God's love is even stronger.I love how Sarah has to leave to realize that God is not Michael. God was with her through it all. I love Miriam and Paul and how he tries to resist her but she takes charge and he was too weak to send her away. I love little Ruthie and Lucky and Suanna who prayed for a friend and got one. I love how Sarah sings Rock of Ages in the middle of a brothel and gets rescued by a rich banker that felt led to walk in and see what was goin on.Great Read, love this author and her personal testimony."
