Tessa Afshar has done it again! She has woven a beautiful love story set in Biblical times and highlighted a little known Bible character in the process.
Chariline is an orphan who was raised by a dutiful aunt. Now a young woman with a passion for architecture, she longs for the love of a father she never knew.
Theo is a soap merchant believing his bloodline makes him unrespectable and unlovable.When he discovers a hiding Charline and uncovers her secret quest, he vows to help this captivating lady in distress.
A hidden heritage, a mysterious murder plot, and a long-lost friend of her family all conspire to keep Chariline from the truth.
Yet Theo instructs her on the importance of trusting Iosus with her desired outcome, and she in turn teaches him something powerful about love, truth, and grace.
I LOVE this story! Tessa always offers keen insight into history, Biblical culture, and Bible references while delicately demonstrating the key components of God’s nature and His great love for His children.
Every single book I have read by Tessa just delights me and I can’t imagine the next book touching me more. Yet, somehow the new release is always my new favorite! If you like Biblical fiction, romance, and stories exalting true love, this is a must read!
