California's gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. A powerful retelling of the Book of Hosea. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. Then she meets Michael Hosea. A man who seeks his Father's heart in everything. Michael obeys Gods call to marry Angle, and to love her unconditionally. Day by day, he defies Angel's every bitter expectation until despite her resistance, her heart begins to flaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. So Angel runs.
