After reading "The Mark of the Lion" series, (and being blown away by it) I was ready to read anything and everything written by Francine Rivers. I found this one and devoured it in one night. Ms. Rivers certainly can tell a story.That said, I didn't enjoy it as much as her other novels. This one is placed in a contemporary setting, with a young woman who doesn't seem to know what she believes as the protagonist (although perhaps I was looking for another Hadassah, the girl of inspiring faith who made "A Voice in the Wind" so unforgettable). It's a good read for a younger or "baby Christian", but leaves the more mature reader somewhat unsatisfied. Also, the love story is in the background and somewhat superfluous. Take a look at it if you get the chance, but it's not required reading.
