California. Tara aurului. Anul 1850. O vreme in care barbatii isi vand sufletul pentru un saculet de aur, iar femeile isi vand trupul pentru un loc unde sa-si plece capul. Angel nu se asteapta din partea barbatilor la nimic altceva decat la tradare. Ajunsa orfana, a fost vanduta unui proxenet si impinsa de mic copil in mrejele prostitutiei. Supravietuieste tinand aprinsa flacara urii. Atunci il intalneste pe Michael Hosea. Un barbat integru si afectuos, Michael Hosea se casatoreste cu Angel si o invata alfabetul dragostei adevarate. El incearca sa preschimbe amaraciunea din inima fetei, in ciuda rezistentei pe care ea o opune, topind inima ei de gheata. Numai ca dragostea nesperata a lui Michael ii creeaza un sentiment de nevrednicie si teama. Si Angel fuge. Departe de dragostea sotului ei, ingrozita de adevarul pe care nu-l mai poate nega, vindecarea ei deplina vine de la Cel care o iubeste mai mult chiar decat Michael Hosea ... Unul care nu o va lasa sa plece.

1875 Acesta perioada istorica si acest gen de povesire constituie punctul forte al lui Francine Rivers si straluceste de la un capat la celalalt. — Josh Olds, Lifeisstory.com Cand Kathryn Walsh soseste in neinsemnata Calvada, un oras minier cuibarit in muntii Sierra Nevada, indragostirea este ultimul lucru la care se gandeste. Ea, o sufrageta exilata din New England, si el, un fost soldat al Uniunii dezmostenit de familia sa, ajung in orasul de frontiera din California, unde isi unesc nu doar fortele, ci si inimile pentru a-l salva. Alungata de bogatul sau tata vitreg, Kathryn Walsh a ajuns sa revendice o mostenire de la unchiul pe care nu l-a cunoscut niciodata: un ziar falimentar de pe o strada plina de bordeluri si saloane si o mina aparent fara valoare. Miscata de opresiunea minerilor locali si a familiilor acestora, Kathryn decide sa relanseze ziarul unchiului ei, dar se trezeste in mijlocul unui vartej, infruntata de cei mai puternici oameni din Calvada. Insa Kathryn nu are de gand sa se dea batuta, mai ales ca stia ca are dreptate. Matthias Beck, proprietarul unui salon si al unui hotel local, stie prea bine cat de periculoasa poate fi tenacitatea lui Kathryn; desi avea dreptate in privinta problemelor orasului Calvada, indrazneala ei i-ar putea fi fatala. Iar domnisoara Walsh nu-i era chiar indiferenta chipesului Matthias, asa ca isi urmeaza chemarea inimii, caci lumea poate cauta sa se imbogateasca in acest oras in plina expansiune, dar este o dragoste mai pretioasa decat aurul care ii va salva pe toti in cele din urma. Francine Rivers a avut o cariera de succes ca scriitoare timp de mai multi ani inainte sa devina o crestina practicanta, in 1986. Aceasta schimbare majora din viata ei a determinat-o sa publice, in 1991, Rascumparata prin iubire, cartea pe care a denumit-o „declaratia ei de credinta“. De atunci, Francine a publicat numeroase romane crestine bestsellere, cu care a cucerit admiratia scriitorilor si loialitatea cititorilor. Romanele ei au fost premiate sau nominalizate la numeroase distinctii, iar in 1997, dupa ce a castigat al treilea premiu RITA pentru fictiune motivationala, Francine a fost inclusa in Hall of Fame – galeria scriitorilor de fictiune din America. In 2015, ea a primit premiul pentru intreaga cariera. Romanele lui Francine au fost traduse in peste treizeci de limbi si au capatat statutul de bestsellere in multe tari din toata lumea. Ea si sotul ei locuiesc in California de Nord si se bucura de timpul petrecut cu copiii si nepotii lor mari. In ce priveste pasiunea ei pentru scris, Francine a transformat-o intr-o modalitate de a-L glorifica pe Isus pentru tot ceea ce El a facut si face in viata ei.
