This was such a hard and dark book, it made me cry and I am not okay. But it was SOOOOOO GOOD.
Done through a very solid understanding/retelling of the book of Hosea, it deals with a lot of hard topics and trauma, and redemption and healing. It was so beautiful, and spoke to my heart. I honestly can't believe it took me this long to read it after having it be recommended by a friend years ago.
That being said, though I wouldn't say there are graphic details, there is a lot of mentions of very adult themes like sex trafficking.
