com's Nell Minow gave it 2/4 stars, writing, "The biggest problem is that the most touching moments are hammered so hard. My heart broke when her back-story was revealed, and I read about how she was betrayed, destroyed and used. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Also, it tipped over the edge more than once into sensationalism, ending in being more like a soap opera than like a story focused only on the redemption of a soul and a lifestyle.

I can't get past how much the main female protagonist is talked down to and slut-shamed by her own husband (and that's not even all).

The book deals with some really horrible and heartbreaking stuff (child rape, prostitution, incest)(but not in real explicit terms) and just when you think you've read the worst, something else is revealed that will break your heart all over again.

Or your brother, for that matter (unless, as we discussed earlier, your brother happens to be Lloyd Dobler, in which case who can blame them?

The idea of the hooker with a heart of gold is very odd to me because it makes some very unfair assumptions. Angel and Michael's connection stands as a pure example of love in its most honest and unconditional state. Mae was urged to abort the child, but refused to do so, and her decision separated the two and left Mae depressed.For those who will no doubt comment that the book of Hosea also contains graphic scenes of a similar nature.
