Book Description
After a lifetime of mistakes…can Kassandra ever be forgiven?
New York City, 1841
When Reverend Joseph plucks a gravely wounded child from the mean
streets of Manhattan’s rough Five Points District, he intends to
give her a real home. And though Kassandra flourishes in the
preacher’s house, learning Bible verses at his knee and going to
school, as a young teenager she makes the first of many devastating
decisions, running away from the only haven she’s ever known.
What follows is a waking nightmare: life in a tiny room above a
brothel, the loss of a child, a lover’s rejection, and finally, life
as a prostitute. As circumstances lead her further and further from
the reverend’s secure home, an ashamed Kassandra is certain that
neither God, nor Joseph, will ever forgive her.
Feeling as though she has nothing left to lose and nowhere to go,
Kassandra leaves behind her hopes of redemption and heads west to
California, where she is transformed into the woman known as Sadie.
Unfortunately, nothing in her life is pointing to a happy ending,
and Sadie is forced to grapple with the question: Once you’ve
passed the point of no return, can you ever go back?

Book Bargains Review

 |
Kassandra was a brave little girl who learned early in life to fend
for herself. She was compared to a sparrows because she was just
like the little bird, going here and there, trusting God to take care of
her. This book is fiction at its best, including a moral with the
story. The author shows us that, with God, everyday is a new
beginning and God's mercy is new every morning. He will give us
the strength to do right and guide us in doing what He wants.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
