Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Francine Rivers returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece.

A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has.

The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it's as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together...until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship - and both their lives - forever.

Entertaining

I listened at the recommendation of my sister. I don’t normally gravitate toward romance stories, but she said it was amazing so I bit. The characters are well developed and even though the plot was predictable, I admit I couldn’t put it down. It was a fun listen. I appreciated the fact that it was a fun, clean romance.

Another home run for Francine Rivers

This book is another wonderful work from a very skilled artist of words. Having read many of her precious books I was anxious to read Francine Rivers’ newest book. The characters come alive along side her beautiful story telling. I was engaged and invested from the first chapter and admire the way she seamlessly writes a story of faith that can feel so authentic and true. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I certainly would!

Beautiful

Just like every other Francine’s book, it left me thinking and praying too. The lives of Grace and BRD all interwoven with the lives of others. The result was God’s grace, love and forgiveness.

Characters Stay with You Even After You Read It

This is one of my all-time favorites from Francine Rivers. You get to know the characters so well and feel like you know them. Great story. I enjoy a good ending for the characters and this doesn't disappoint.
