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.

      The biblical story of Hosea is retold in the setting of the California Gold Rush, where most women earned their living on their backs. Michael Hosea follows God's prompting and marries one of these working women, despite the hardship his choice will entail. Kate Forbes's gentle narration brings out the author's compassion for lost souls. A slight deepening of tone for male characters becomes more pronounced for the antagonists in the story. The women are marked with dignity and depth, even the ones who have not yet chosen a higher path in life. Children are less believable, suffering a slight case of squeakiness, but they appear so little in the story it makes no difference in the overall performance. R.P.L.
