Book Review: Reckless Love

Reckless Love by Kate Goodwin - 5 Stars 
Wow, what a story. Beautiful. Redemptive. 

This book is a Hagar and Sarah inspired story with a contemporary spin. Amina (Amy) finds herself a single woman, pregnant with no where to go. Melissa has always wanted a son to carry on her husband's family legacy. When Melissa is told she is going through Menopause and her pregnancy test is negative, she feels her entire hope of having a family has gone. As barrenness pushes her to a breaking point, God seemingly drops the answer on their doorstop - or so they think. Amina and Melissa's arrangement doesn't go to plan and they are both put to the test. And Melissa's thoughts of what's to come gets changed by the true plans of the Lord.

I was thoroughly impressed with this biblical retelling. I love how Kate put this contemporary spin on it and you really felt empathy with the characters and the heartbreak they were going through. The grace and mercy given in the end of this book was absolutely beautiful. 

Seeing Amina's story and her coming to Jesus was very impactful. I loved Loretta and Tom as they were the hands and feet of Jesus in the moments Amina needed it most. Seeing how the Lord worked in these families lives in the end made me cry - such a beautiful, emotional ending. Absolutely lovely faith content.

If you like biblical retellings or contemporary stories by Francine Rivers, this would be a perfect read for you. 

Thank you to the author for providing a copy to honestly read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
