I fell in love with these characters as Michael and Angel experienced a turbulent journey towards trust, hope, love and ultimate faith. I saw this on my libraries page and it had been recommended to me in the past, so I picked up the audiobook.

When Angel sees Miriam talking with Michael, she assumes that they have feelings for one another and jumps to the conclusion that they would make a much better couple than she and Michael. A sweeping, romantic tale of a displaced New England suffragette, a former Union soldier disinherited by his Southern family, and the California frontier town they join forces to save. There is a part in the story, right after Angel betrays and abandons Michael (and not for the first or last time) that he takes her to an unknown destination. This is a difficult book to rate because at times it’s a 1 and then a 3 and I can even see how readers could give it a 5 star rating. His faith in God and his belief in his purpose as dictated by a higher being were heartfelt and poignant.After resisting him for some time, she finally stops to look at the beauty around her as the hours pass, the moon descends and the sun begins to set. His self-sacrifice skirts the incredulous and I still can’t see what he got out of it during those years of waiting.

The film was released for VOD platforms on February 8, 2022, followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on March 8, 2022. Thankfully there is not much detail, but the impact of events is part of the trauma in the story that needs to be redeemed from. Another aspect of the book that I found fascinating is how Angel struggles to decipher if Michael is her captor, Savoir, God, or husband.

As Angel falls in love with Michael, she becomes convinced that he will be happier married to someone else who can have children, leading her to leave him once more. Sarah bit her lip at the coldness in Papa’s voice, but before she could speak, Mama touched her shoulder gently. For those who will no doubt comment that the book of Hosea also contains graphic scenes of a similar nature. Redeeming Love continues to be one of the Christian Booksellers Association's top-selling titles, and it has held a spot on the Christian bestsellers list for nearly a decade.

I haven't worked out all the details yet, but I suspect the end involves her 40 years later living in a small cabin, the one bullet she stopped still lodged in her golden heart. By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. I tried so hard not to cry (especially toward the end) but I finally had to pull over and wipe my eyes when it ended. They go back and forth a bit, she leaves him three times and bangs his brother, Paul, on the side of the road.Sarah in the story was sold into prostitution as a child and has suffered immense psychological trauma. After a while, Sarah wandered back to the springhouse and sat by the flowered vines and waited longer. I read this book while I was traveling, and I truly don’t know how I made my connector flights or found my departing gate terminals, or even who sat next to me on the airplane.
