It was mentioned as a Christian book about a story from the Bible, told from the perspective of a prostitute, and Francia found multiple new meanings and perspectives with each read.
My favorite book right now is called, uh, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.
It's a Christian book. I've read that one four times. Life-changing.
It's about a story in the Bible, um, and it's, oh gosh, I can't remember their characters. I remember their book characters, not in the Bible, but remember about the, um, guy, God told to marry a prostitute.
the first time I read it because I was in such a broken place. I thought it was a love story between the two people. And I was like, Oh my God, this is amazing. They fell in love, all this stuff.
And then the second time I read it, I was like, Oh, this is a love story between her and God, not him. He was just the vehicle in order to get her in a relationship with God, which I mean, I threw the book. I was like, Whoa.

It was read multiple times and provided different insights with each read, from a romance to a story of faith and self-discovery. It helped her grow as a Christian and a woman.

It's that story, but told from her perspective.
the first time I read it because I was in such a broken place. I thought it was a love story between the two people.
And then the second time I read it, I was like, Oh, this is a love story between her and God, not him. He was just the vehicle in order to get her in a relationship with God,
which I mean, I threw the book. I was like, Whoa.
the third time I read it, there's a small part in the book and I threw it again. Where, um, one of the characters was asking her, the lead character, her name is Angel. Did you know you could say no?
I threw the book because I was like, Wow, it really, she had a choice to say no, but she didn't know how to.
