This is one of my favorite books of all time.
It is a fiction romance novel. It is written by an author who is very well known for her Christian romance novels.
This book is based on the love story of the Biblical character Hosea. Hosea married a prostitute but no matter what, she kept running away.
This book is that story but set in the 1800s. This is a romantic period in literature settings anyway because there are no modern distractions.
The main character, Angel, has never known love, much less unconditional love. She was sold into prostitution by one of her mother's many 'boyfriends'. Michael Hosea comes to her saying that God has told him to love her unconditionally and take her as his wife. The story is told from his perspective also. Michael never married, even though he had many opportunities, unless God told him to do so. He ends up being tested in this every time that Angel runs away. He knows he has done nothing wrong so he doesn't know why she keeps leaving.
This story will make you cry more than any other book. It is a really believable love story. You will learn the true meaning of faith in God and unconditional love.
