Redeeming Love by Franscine Rivers

Redeeming Love is another great read from Franscine Rivers. She does such a wonderful job retelling the story of Gomer and Hosea. She uses the mid 1800's to tell her story. Angel is a young lady whose childhood was less than ideal and it ended up being the beginning of what leads her down a road of prositution just to survive. That is until one day when a very unlikely rescuer comes to her aid, Michael Hosea. He can't get her out of his mind, he goes back and saves her. However, Angel is not a willing rescuee, she keeps lapsing back into her old ways even though Michael's love for her is never ending. She must find out though for herself that his love for her is never changing, no matter how much she hurts him. This story leaves you on the edge of your seat, hoping she'll see it before it's to late and he gives up completely on her. I must say while this story isn't graphic, it does touch on some exteremly sensetive subjects: child sexual abuse, child abuse, rape, prostitution, physical abuse and sexual abuse. Some of the story takes place in brothels and bars. I would recommend this story for mature readers 18+.
