Gold country in California, around 1850. a period in which ladies sold their bodies for a place to sleep and men sold their souls for a bag of riches.
Angel only expects betrayal from men. She was forced into prostitution as a young girl and lives by harboring resentment. The guys who take advantage of her and leave her feeling lifeless and empty within are what she detests the most.
She then runs into Michael Hosea. Michael Hosea, a man who always seeks his Father's heart, heeds God's command to wed Angel and show her unwavering devotion. Day by day, he slowly but firmly challenges Angel's every bitter expectation, and in spite of her resistance, her heart starts to melt.
However, her sudden softening is accompanied by strong emotions of dread and unworthiness. Angel then takes off. She is afraid of the reality she can no longer ignore and is returning to the darkness and her husband's pursuit of love. She knows that the one who will never let her go is the one who will provide her ultimate healing.
A narrative about God's unwavering, redeeming, and all-encompassing love that transforms lives.
