Scarred. Blemished. Unwanted. These were all words that could describe Bethany. Since an accident disfigured the right side of her face, severing the betrothal to the man she loved, Bethany knew that no one would ever find her beautiful. When her mother insists she marries the only man willing to take her as a wife, Bethany begrudgingly agrees. Yet, the more she discovers about her new husband, the more she realizes that some scars are hidden deep within. 

After becoming a champion gladiator to purchase his mother’s freedom, Ezra wished to live a quiet life as a shepherd. When he hires a troubled woman with a veiled face to assist him with his flock, he’s surprised to find himself drawn to discover the woman beneath the mask. After a hasty marriage, Ezra vows to do everything he must to spare his wife from harm. But will her thirst for revenge against the dark forces that plague their homeland and his desperate need to protect his family tear them apart? 

Discover the story of a blemished woman in A Path to Healing.

Book Review

A Path to Healing is the third book in The Prodigal Woman series. I had not personally read the previous books in the series, but I found that I was able to enjoy and understand this story just fine as a standalone. 

Admittedly, fantasy is not a genre that I am typically drawn to, so between that and coming in at the third book, I really wasn't sure what to expect from this one. I was actually very pleasantly surprised. I was quickly drawn into this world that the author had created--- and more importantly, these characters. Ezra and Bethany were both such compelling characters who had been through a lot in their lives. They had their flaws, of course, but that only made me appreciate their strength and courage all that much more. I loved seeing her let her guard down and his patience with her in doing so throughout the story. They truly had such a beautiful relationship that I really enjoyed. Likewise, there were many side characters who were equally compelling and made the story that much better. I find myself looking forward to going back to the previous books in the series to learn more about this world too. If you enjoy Christian fantasy, this is certainly one to check out.
