"Mary Madison is educated and redeemed, a powerful voice in Washington, D.C. But she also has a past that shamed polite society. A survivor of unspeakable horror, Mary has battled paralyzing fear, faithlessness, addiction, and promiscuity. But even in her darkest valley, Mary was sustained from afar, prayed over by a grandmother who clung to the belief that God had special plans for Mary. Now a divine power has set Mary free to bring life-changing hope and love to battered women living in the shadow of the nation's capital--women like Emma Johnson. A single mother fleeing an abusive relationship, Emma wonders whether there is hope for her and her young daughters. She is desperate, broken, and unloved, tempted to commit the unthinkable. Then Mary introduces Emma to the greatest love of all, greater than any either of them has ever imagined"--Preliminary page.

Incredible
Karen Kingsbury takes her writing to a new level with this book. I could not put the book down because of the suspense and twists and turns. The remarkable thing about this book was how much information went into describing and enabling the reader to better understand the cycle of abuse. The most heartwarming and soulwrenching part of this book was the example of God's redeeming and unconditional love for his children regardless of who they are. Karen Kingsbury also demonstrates through her characters and story line just how much the Holy Spirit transforms and empowers people who believe in him.
