Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-26 00:00:00 O. Sessoms All right, so if you read the book summary and you're anything like me, you chuckled and went "REALLY? That's a bit cheesy, don't you think?" (But I wanted to read the other two in the series, so I had to read this one...) And it could have been the cheesiest book ever, but it was VERY well written, with very intriguing and believable characters. I mean, the book wasn't perfect by any means. There were a couple of things that sorta bugged me, but overall, it was downright moving. After Sabrina's parents died, she followed her sister into the prostitution business in Denver, but she was "rescued" by a very kind police officer (they were both at a crime scene'he wasn't arresting her or anything) and his wife (who used to be a prostitute as well!) They share their home and food and beliefs with her, and she comes to believe in Jesus Christ and repents of her sins. She was attempting to start over again, working in a factory, but men who knew her from before kept approaching her... AWKWARD! So the cop and his wife send her to Token Creek, where they know a "good church family"... but Sabrina declines a letter of introduction. So she's just flying blind. The first day there, she lands a part-time job at Cassidy's old store (which Jeanette now owns and runs) AND a part-time job at Jessie's general store! AND Jeanette gives her a place to stay until she can find a place to rent. Okay, so she's most concerned about getting established, getting to know the church family, and learning more about the Bible, but she keeps running into Pastor Rylan (their first(?) encounter at the livery was HILARIOUS!). And pretty soon, she can tell he's got a "crush" on her, and she's thinking, "WHOA... I'm the LAST PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE you should be looking at! If you had ANY IDEA, you would run far far away and never look back!" BUT they end up falling in love with each other... and she's still seriously concerned about things! I don't want to give everything away, but I just really loved the underlying message that no matter how badly you have sinned, you can always be forgiven. You can truly become a totally different person'a "new creature" (2 Corinthians 5:17, Mosiah 27:26)'through Christ's Atonement, and that is beautiful! And while Sabrina is a fictional character, that message is anything BUT! And I'm really happy that Bri found a man whose belief in Christ was strong enough to overcome any "concerns" he may have had concerning her past. Not everyone has that kind of faith. :)

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-06 00:00:00 John Junge Sabrina Matthews, a young prostitute in frontier Denver, is befriended by a police officer and his wife. Sabrina stays with Danny and Callie until she's ready to start a fresh start in Token Creek in the Montana Territory. There she meets Jeanette Fulbright. Then she falls for Pastor Rylan Jarvik. Could she tell him about her past? A refreshing story - the best description that comes to my mind as I listened to this book. So nice to see nice people, living in the Christian way. It gives the Old West a different point of view.
