Author: Lisa M. James

Release Date: January 21, 2022
Genre: Christian Fantasy

Reckless. Extravagant. Wasteful. These were all words that could describe Esther. Thirteen years of careless living had left Esther and her young son destitute. When her husband disappears at night, leaving Esther with the full burden of their debt, Esther has no choice but to claim her husband is dead and enslave herself and her child to stay alive. So severely had she broken the relationships in her life, she never expected a man from her childhood to speak on her behalf and carry the weight of her debt. Yet Esther soon realizes that escaping the demons of her past would not be so easy.

Levi had little interest in seeing Esther again. When a promise to her father leaves him honor-bound to take her as his wife, he struggles with the bitterness he holds toward her for allowing her addictions and selfishness to derail her life. Yet, he could not hide the deep desire within him to be a husband and a father, even to a woman he did not love and a child that was not his by blood.

Discover the story of a reckless woman in A Path to Forgiveness.

EXCERPT

When a child was born in The Gourd, their parents had a choice to place them on the Rock of Seeing, a large boulder on a high peak in The Summit, where each child was given a gift, allocated by a Savan. Parents enjoyed bragging on which of the ten gifts their child was given which indicated that they would excel in that area. The gifts were perseverance, faith, beauty, healing, strength, wisdom, compassion, charisma, patience, and joy. Of course, the gifts of beauty and strength were the most coveted, and the least coveted was the gift I was granted as a child, perseverance. It was believed that those who were gifted with perseverance would have a life full of trials. For why would one need to persevere if everything fell in perfect alignment in their lives? And why would one covet a life full of trials?

I hugged my knees against me in the cold cell. Was it truly perseverance if I simply was forced to live through terrible situations I had created completely by my own accord? Could I blame the Redeemer for abandoning me now when I deserved the fate that awaited me? When I willingly lied to the court about my true situation to protect myself?

No. Simon would try, but no one would speak on behalf of a woman like me who had created a disaster of her life by her own choosing. A woman who deserved no mercy or forgiveness for her deeds.
