Now a divine power has set Mary free to bring life-changing hope and love to battered and abused women living in the shadow of the nation's capital.

Incredible
Karen Kingsbury takes her writing to a new level with this book. I could not put the book down because of the suspense and twists and turns. The remarkable thing about this book was how much information went into describing and enabling the reader to better understand the cycle of abuse. The most heartwarming and soulwrenching part of this book was the example of God's redeeming and unconditional love for his children regardless of who they are. Karen Kingsbury also demonstrates through her characters and story line just how much the Holy Spirit transforms and empowers people who believe in him.
