Just loved this book and I have read a lot of Francine Rivers books Loved all that I’ve read
Francine Rivers is one of my favorite authors. I have tried to read everything she has written. This book is one of my favorites of hers. It is very inspirational and moving. Francine makes all of her characters come to life.
This an amazing love story that mirrors God’s love for us. It is amazing the depth of redeeming love!
Heartbreaking at times. Such a wonderful book!
Incredible story?
One of the best books I’ve ever read.
In my opinion, this is a “must read” for every woman who is a Christ follower, and should be at the top of the list for the men, too. It is a beautiful story that illustrates the love He has for us, even when we reject him repeatedly, and even when it makes no sense for Him to continue to shower us with His lavish love. It is gripping and compelling, and will leave you with a deeper appreciation for how He loves us.
This was my first Francine Rivers book and I loved it. Historical fiction at its best.
One of my favorite books. A great reminder of Gods never ending love.
Read this book! One of my all time favorites. Shows the awesomeness of forgiveness and unconditional love.
My favorite book of all time
Upsetting and hard to read

I absolutely loved this book. It is a book that can be read multiple times. Everyone I know who has read this book had highly recommended it.
One of the top ten books I have read in my lifetime, The theme of forgiveness is beautifully and powerfully portrayed. Forgiving someone is not something that comes naturally to us. We can forgive supernaturally only because we realize that in Christ we have been forgiven a debt we could have never repaid.
I read everything Francine Rivers has written in christian genre. Always a good read!!!
This is one of my all time favorite books. I loved the ending, and the fact that this book mirrors the Book of Hosea in the Bible.
Excellent story of grace, love and mercy extended despite betrayal.
Everything that Francine Rivers writes is well done. The development of the characters in this novel is truly amazing. I found myself impressed by what she did.
An insightful parallel to how God loves and forgives. Accepting us with all our flaws but offering hope and transforming lives. Written by a very talented writer.
Loved the era and all of the realism the author put in this book.
