Shuttled between foster homes, Roxi Gold will do anything to fit in. Soon she’s traveling the country stealing rare books from unsuspecting bookstores. Police officer Abby Dawson has seen the worst of society—and not just at work. One fateful night, both their lives are changed forever. One searches for justice, the other finds herself on the run. Will the power of forgiveness set them free?
My Thoughts:
I am a lover of books both modern and antique. The value of a book varies depending on the age, condition and whether or not it possesses any unique marks, quirks ect... Bound By Guilt is a suspenseful story that has antique and rare books at the heart of the trouble, and I never considered the possibilities that were possible with this particular fascination with books! C.J Darlington really knows how to "bind" the human condition with a unique and suspenseful mystery!
I love the fact that she doesn't force a spiritual element but allows it to grow as a natural part of the story. I also love the fact that she allowed weaknesses that are really inherent to everyone to show up and be examined through the lens of different responses. Guilt is a powerful force for both right and wrong choices, and yet God has provided a way for Christians to live victorious lives that are not directed by guilt.
