This was a beautiful story of love and redemption in the face of sin and evil. Ms. Bradley made every effort to keep Miska's story realistic and true to today's society and moral standards. The reader is not shielded from the sinfulness of man, nor is there left any question as to the reconciliation God has provided to free us from that evil grip. I applaud Ms. Bradley's courage in taking the reality of modern day sin into the realm of Christian fiction and pointing the way to those who may be struggling with similar issues. Well developed characters, page turning plot lines and a deep spiritual message make this a must read for all those who enjoy women's fiction. ( )
