Christian historical romance

Redeeming Love

by Francine Rivers

Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel survives California's gold country by distrusting every promise and keeping her heart inaccessible. Farmer Michael Hosea believes God has called him to marry her, even when she repeatedly flees the safety and tenderness he offers. Their difficult relationship reimagines the biblical story of Hosea through trauma, patience, shame, and the possibility of a love that does not depend on performance. Sweeping and faith-centered, this historical romance suits readers prepared for dark subject matter who appreciate frontier settings, persistent redemption arcs, and heroines reclaiming an identity exploitation tried to erase.
