Book Review:Bridge to Haven

-
Bridge To Haven by Francine Rivers

Goodreads Summary:
To those who matter in 1950s Hollywood, Lena Scott is the hottest rising star to hit the silver screen since Marilyn Monroe. Few know her real name is Abra. Even fewer know the price she's paid to finally feel like she's somebody.

To Pastor Ezekiel Freeman, Abra will always be the little girl who stole his heart the night he found her, a wailing newborn abandoned under a bridge on the outskirts of Haven. Zeke and his son, Joshua--Abra's closest friend--watch her grow into an exotic beauty. But Zeke knows the circumstances surrounding her birth etched scars deep in her heart, scars that leave her vulnerable to a fast-talking bad boy who proclaims his love and lures her to Tinseltown.

Hollywood feels like a million miles from Haven, and naive Abra quickly learns what's expected of an ambitious girl with stars in her eyes. But fame comes at an awful price. She has burned every bridge to get exactly what she thought she wanted. Now, all she    wants is a way back home.

In this riveting and highly anticipated tale of temptation, grace, and unconditional love, "New York Times" best-selling author Francine Rivers delivers big-canvas storytelling at its very best.

My Review:
4.5/5 stars
Francine Rivers has done it again. Another novel that comes with a great message as well as a captivating story. Based on Ezekiel 16 Rivers shared the importance of everyone being broken as well as the love and comfort we can find in Christ.
I loved Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers so I figured her others must be as amazing. While I would still rank Redeeming Love higher than Bridge To Haven I think this is an excellent book for anyone interested in Christian fiction.
She created characters that all of us can find someone to relate to. Whether you are the one trying to become someone your own way, or having to let someone or something go, or maybe even someone who lives with guilt everyday, Rivers shows how those around us and love from God can cover anything.

I highly recommend this book!!

    You know, I don't think I've ever read a novel by Francine despite the popularity that surrounds her as an author and her books. This cover is gorgeous though - love those colors!

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy Reader  and gives people a chance to list out their favorites of the topic of the week!! TODAY'S TOPIC IS: Books to read by the pool/at the beach     1. Save the Date by Morgan Matson This looks like the perfect light read while also being hilarious and totally relatable. It is about a family reuniting for a wedding and all the drama and love that comes with that which sounds perfect considering I'll be surrounded by family when I head to the beach next month. 2. By Your Side by Kasie West Recently I have been all about Kasie West's book, so of course there had to be one on this list. By Your Side is about two teenagers from very different friend groups being stuck in the library for a day together and the spark that may or may not fly. 3. Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett Another YA romance but this one is online, maybe? Bailey meets someone online who shares her love for all things movies (RELAT...
