Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child, has learned to distrust all men, who see her only as a way to satisfy their lust. When the virtuous and spiritual-minded Michael Hosea is told by God to marry this "soiled dove," he obeys, despite his misgivings. As Angel learns to love him, she begins to hope again but is soon overwhelmed by fear and returns to her old life. Rivers shines in her ability to weave together spiritual themes and sexual tension in a well-told story, a talent that has propelled her into the spotlight as one of the most popular novelists in the genre of Christian fiction. This is one of her best. --Cindy Crosby]]> 6492 4.22 26598 3937 1991 5 7 false Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Fri Jul 20 17:14:04 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 17 01:23:58 -0800 2009 more...]]>
