review 1: This is the first book I've read from Maureen Lang and it didn't disappoint. It's the journey of two people trying to come to terms with their past mistakes and finding grace from others in the process. Dessa thinks her past precludes her from being able to marry;she believes she will be content in continuing her mentor's dream of opening a house for former prostitutes. Yet, she tends to be impatient when waiting on God so she tries to do things her way (which she thinks would be God's way, too). Henry knows his world was built on a lie of his own creation and he thinks he could never have a wife and family because of his past. They both learn to love each other and accept the truths about each other because their past is what made them into the people of the present. Alth... moreough I enjoyed their story line, I would have liked it better if they spent more time with each other in the first half of the book. It always seemed like either character was running out of the room for one reason or another. I enjoyed the epilogue so I could get a glimpse of how all the secondary characters were doing. Overall, I'm glad I tried it and would definitely read another of Ms. Lang's books again.
review 2: In the interest of full disclosure, I did win this book in a giveaway here on this site. My winning, however, has had absolutely no influence on my review. In fact, I entered the giveaway when I was halfway through my library's copy and I didn't even know that I had won until after I had finished it and rated it five stars.That being said, I absolutely loved this book. From the first page I couldn't put it down and I read straight through in three days. It was a subject I'd never before encountered in a Christian novel.Dessa wishes to open a safe-house for reformed prostitutes. In order to fulfill her dream, she needs funding. That's where Henry and Hawkin's National Bank comes in. Henry has a dark past of his own that he's been hiding for many years. In doing so, he has closed himself from society and those around him who wish to help. But with a little push from the very people he's pushed away, he may be able to find his happiness in Dessa. And she may just find her's in Henry.This was the first book I'd read by Maureen Lang and it certainly was enjoyable. I loved her message and her writing style. I highly recommend it. less
