Review: 
Thank you to Books Forward for sending me this FREE ARC COPY of Book 1 in this Contemporary Fiction Series by Anne Shaw Heinrich to promote and review for her as part of The Book Tour this week. 

This was My First time reading a Contemporary Novel by Anne so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one even tho there was MANY Sad Parts to it. 

The Story starts off with Mary, A Woman who helps out a Young Teen, Pearl who ends up pregnant through Rape from The Pastor's Son James. As the story continues we learn how each Character goes from Faith in God to Finding Forgiveness and Redeaming themselves as they endure pain even tho God helps them through it all. 

The Characters were enjoyable and interesting to read about. Mary and Elizabeth were definately my favorites. Pearl was OK but i didnt always like how she treated Mary who was trying her best to raise Pearl and by the time Pearl treated Mary right, i felt it was too late. 

The Setting was beauitfully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when the scenery was described BUT I wish Anne was more descriptive about WHERE The Book was set because i kept going back to see what town and state each chapter was set in. 

Overall a Good Book 1 in this Contemporary Series about Women of Paradise County. Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!
