Ruth Livingstone's father sends her - and a small child - to live in a small town, under a false name, with strangers. He's facing legal issues related to his work to bring women out of prostitution. In Toms River, though, Ruth finds things to be much harder than she anticipated. And when things take a turn for the worse, she must decide if she will continue to trust in God. A blossoming friendship with Jake Spencer brings a new twist as well. Can she trust him with her secrets?
After being introduced to Delia Parr earlier this year, I was excited to read another of her novels. She's a very descriptive writer, which allows you to feel like you're actually with the characters. The characters are well-developed as well. Facing difficult situations forces each of them to take a hard look at what they really believe. I did find it a little hard to get started, but once I got into the book, I thought it was great!
4 stars (out of 5)
I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my fair and honest review.
