Freed to Forgive

By Julie B Cosgrove

Description:

Shackled by her past, can she be freed to forgive? Abused in her Mexican village, Marisol’s anger is her ticket to freedom in America or so she thinks. But her temper lands her in worse and worse situations. Trafficked and pregnant, she gives up her baby so it can have a better life. Now, ten years later her past returns to haunt her, just when she has caught the eye of Jesse, the one man who wants to know her…and not just her body. Marisol has struggled hard to disguise her past, but will the unforgiving spirit she harbors prevent her from embracing her future? Though delicately worded with veiled descriptions, this faith-based novel does depict some disturbing, yet unfortunately all too common, sex trafficking scenes necessary for the plot.

Book Takeaway:

We must learn to forgive in order to fully embrace God's mercy and grace.

Why the author wrote this book:

BEcause my publisher said so many people had emailed and asked what happened to the teenage girl in Hush in the Storm, she contracted me to write Marisol's story, sigh unseen.
