What readers are saying …

"Markos, Dino and Sofia live in real poverty in this book. The problems of that are not sugar-coated, and the author shows how sometimes the practical decision we make can have some disastrous results if they aren't coupled with integrity. But she also showed how people are not just evil, how desperation can lead you to places you never thought of, how sin can sometimes equal physical survival if not necessarily spiritual well being. I liked that God did not answer every prayer and smooth every path. That happens sometimes in Inspirationals, and it can be really annoying because it does not coincide with life in the real world.

I also loved the total lack of judgment in this book. Like David and Moses, Markos has a quick temper and a problem with violence. Like Mary Magdalen, Sophia has led a less than pure life to get along. God works in both their lives to bring about better situations, but there is no finger pointing or condemnation along the way. The changes and redemptive factors occur within them and through faith, not by someone chasing them down and telling them they are bound for hell. I especially liked that Sophia is deemed a worthy wife and mother, in spite of all she has lived through. In more than one romance, even not of the Inspirational variety, a heroine is thought to be dirt if she has been with other than Her True Love. It's good that we are getting away from that.

A sweeping saga of an era of that now has few survivors, this tale of love and redemption encompasses what can happen when you open your heart to forgiveness and your mind to accepting the unexpected."
