Ruth Livingston is the only living daughter of her father Reverend Livingstone, whose mission in life is to help those that society deems unworthy of help. Caught in the turbulent times of 1800's his life's mission is to help those women and young girls that have been caught up in prostitution, however when one of them is murdered suddenly, the city begins to cry out for justice and right now the only person who was with her last was Reverend Livingstone.
Trusting his daughter Ruth with Lily, the child of the murdered prostitute, he sends her away under the pretense of being the so-called prostitute in need of help along with her toddler child. She leaves her father behind hoping that he will be found innocent of all charges so she can return once more to her home and leaving her assumed life behind her.
It is hard for us to understand the trials our loving God sends us, but how would our faith grow without them? Delia Bloom weaves a beautiful story of faith in God and how God uses negative experiences to bring us to a better time in life. I truly enjoyed Loves First Bloom by Delia Bloom. I hadn’t read anything from Bloom prior to this. i would be interested in reading more by her.
I received a copy of this book courtesy of Bethany House Publishing for the purpose of reviewing. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
