I received a copy of UNENDING DEVOTION
by Jody Hedlund from Bethany House. The
cover is addictive – a young woman wearing a cape stands amongst skeleton trees
while looking pensively out at the audience.
Who can resist that?
I am never disappointed with Bethany
House’s books. They have the perfect mix of religion,
romance, and adventure, with a sprinkling of danger that keep you riveted to
the edge of your seat. This novel was no
exception. Lily Young has had a hard
life. She’s had to raise her sister, but
now her sister is trapped somewhere as a prostitute. Lily is determined to find and save her, so
she travels around logging camps. Her
companion is a photographer who uses Lily as his assistant. As they search for her sister, they save
other unwilling prostitutes.
I adored the mingling of mystery and
history. It really is one of those books
that sucks you back in time. I never
considered what life might have been like for prostitutes or photographers in
the logging camps during the late 1800’s.
This opened my eyes to the dangers and heartaches. I really felt for the helpless girls. I highly recommend this novel to history
lovers like myself.
