The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon

4.5

 My Review (May contain spoilers, fair warning upon reading this review)

This book was such a hard one to read because Amy Harmon really put me in my paces. I can't believe what I was put through within this story but man I just didn't want to put it down either. If you love audiobooks and have Hoopla, I highly recommend this one in Audio because it was superb in this format.

Out of all the Amy Harmon books that I have had the opportunity to read so far, this was most definitely the most emotional and heart wrenching books that I have read from her. She blended in aspects that I was NOT expecting her to write at all. She literally broke my heart with this one and especially that ending, WOW. I also appreciated that the focus of the book was more on the man's journey than the heroine's. That is NOT common in romance at all and SNAPS to Amy Harmon for having the courage to do it and have it resonate with so many romance readers. I absolutely adored everything about this book. It had so many layers that I just want to dig into. Also if you are spiritual in any way, you will really appreciate what Amy Harmon constantly delivers in her works.

The Law of Moses is a story about a young black man who really goes through the wringer, trying to find himself and his journey and his purpose and about a young woman who loves him deeply and fiercely but Moses has to come into what love means on his own and so with that comes pain and heartbreak at times. But we also see the intensity of a parent's love in this one. I wasn't expecting how this book turned into at all but what we see our couple go through together with their son literally breaks the heart. I really appreciated the LDS connections to this book in matters of death and eternity type of aspects that just felt so raw and real.

Overall I had a blast of a time reading The Law of Moses and I can't wait to read the companion novel "Song of David". If you are looking for a emotionally captivating read, you can never go wrong with Amy Harmon.
