A past filled with shame can be washed
away with a love that conquers all.
Born to an unloving prostitute in a popular Chicago brothel, timid seventeen-year-old Dinah Hubley was raised amidst the secrets held in every dark, grimy room of her home. Anxious to escape, Dinah pursues her dream of becoming a Harvey Girl, waiting tables along the railroad in an upscale hotel. But when she finds out she isn’t old enough, her only option is to accept a job as a chambermaid at the Clifton Hotel in Florence, Kansas. Eager to put everything behind her, Dinah feels more worthless than ever, based on a single horrible decision she made to survive.
The Clifton offers a life Dinah has never known, but blinded to the love around her, Dinah remains buried in the shame of her past. When a handsome chicken farmer named Amos Ackerman starts to show interest, Dinah withdraws further, convinced no one could want a sullied woman like her. Despite his self-consciousness about his handicapped leg and her strange behavior, Amos resolves to show Dinah Christ’s love. But can she ever accept a gift she so desperately needs?

After reading Kim Vogel Sawyer’s Echoes of Mercy, the opportunity to read and review her Through the Deep Waters seemed too good
to pass up. And after finishing the novel, I can say Sawyer does not
disappoint. Again, with her genuine characters and well-researched historical
backdrop, she creates a truly captivating story. Brimming with the truth of
grace, worth and forgiveness, I found this novel reminiscent of Francine River’s
Redeeming Love in many ways, while
still remaining uniquely enjoyable. Through
the Deep Waters is definitely worth reading and I absolutely appreciate receiving
a copy of it from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group, with the opportunity
to read and honestly review it.
