In Mesu Andrews' third biblical novel, the author applies her dedication to research, compassion for her subject and gift as a storyteller to the Old Testament marriage between the prophet Hosea and his twice redeemed, wayward wife, Gomer. Hosea is told by God not only to preach a message of forgiveness and restoration, but to live it out - no matter what the cost. This retold and heart-rending story helps renew its truth for expereinced Bible readers, and introduce meaningful stories to readers new to faith, the Bible and Christian themed romantic/historical fiction.

Proving the relationship between God and his disobedient people, Hosea marries a known prostitute, giving her a home, children and restoring her to repectability. And when Gomer slides back into her old ways, Hosea demonstrates God's relentless love by pursuing his wife and buying her back - again. To this passionate story, Andrews adds her own historical detail and the complexities of human relationships. With her potent combination of in-depth research and masterful storytelling, Mesu Andrews brings to life a complex and fascinating biblical story of the power of love and forgiveness in the face of utter betrayal, and applies it's lessons to our relationships with eachother, and with God, today.
