Measures of Grace
Back of the Book:
Corrine Hammond, a beautiful pretender, has made her living by conning wealthy men out of their fortunes. But when she accepts God’s love, her life is drastically changed. Now all Corrine wants is to make amends with the husband and daughter she abandoned eight years before. And so she sets out for her old home—fearful, yet believing that God is calling her to set things right.
What she doesn’t know is that someone is following her—someone who is determined to take her back to stand trial for her crimes, someone who will, by a strange twist of fate, find himself at her mercy. And when that happens, Corrine—and her newfound faith—will face the greatest test of all…
My Review:
I hungrily read this book not because I wanted to read another love story, but because I wanted to find out what happens to Corrine! She’s learning what it’s like to be a new Christian and how tempting it is to go back to her old ways sometimes. I couldn’t put this book down because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next! It was thrilling. I couldn’t guess the twists that it took, like the previous one.
It was more about God’s plan for making us happy and choosing to follow Him, but it was a very good story.
I’ll warn you that it’s not much of a love story, but that didn’t matter at all. It was so entertaining that I didn’t mind not reading about that aspect (even though it sorta ends with one).
