“Francine Rivers is an incredibly spiritual woman, who has the amazing ability to translate an old biblically based story, and transform it into a modernly beautiful one. This story about forgiveness and redemption is one that has captured m heart. Loosely based on the book of the bible Hosea, this leaves a womans' empty heart restored and filled with a new hope that one day her Hosea will soon be found. I do not want to give away too much of the story in a review, but the Lord definitely spoke through Francine Rivers whenever she wrote this book. I highly encourage any woman to read it. Changed my life! ”
