In a rough-and-tumble shantytown of shattered dreams and empty pleasures, one man would move mountains to win a woman's heart...
Sold into sin as a child, beautiful, tormented Angel never believed in love. Then Michael Hosea walked into her life. He was a simple man, strong as the rich earth he farmed. And though Angel fought his tenderness tooth and nail, Michael mad her his wife. Through days of hardship and toil and starry nights of shared solitude, he opened her eyes to life's sweetest blessings and slowly melted the ice from her heart. Welcomed by a neighboring family of settlers, Angel discovered a close-knit warmth she'd never known. But there were others who could not forget--or forgive--the woman Angel once was. Now in the teeming city of San Francisco, a difficult destiny awaits her. To be worthy of the husband she adores, Angel must face--and conquer--the darkest demon of her past...

Work Description
California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea. A man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything, Michael Hosea obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she can no longer deny: Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael Hosea does…the One who will never let her go. A life-changing story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.
