Book Review: The Scarlet Thread


I'm starting to think Francine Rivers can write no wrong. I haven't read anything by her that I haven't absolutely adored. She takes Biblical principles and makes them applicable to everyday life. This book follows two women's journeys even though they live more than a century apart. In one storyline we meet Sierra and her husband Alex. They are a happily married couple who are about to go through trials and struggles that can tear a family apart. In the other storyline we meet Mary Catherine. She is a pioneer woman who is making her way West on the Oregon Trail. Both women struggle to believe in God and their circumstances make it difficult to change their minds. Only when they are completely broken can they find the Healer.
