The Measure of a Lady by Deeanne Gist

4.0

Read for book club. Good choice; great topics for a lively discussion! Because I recently read a similar book, yet somewhat opposite - Redeeming Love, about a prostitute turned Christian living in San Francisco during the gold rush - I was constantly drawing comparisons. I related more to Rachel, the protagonist in Measure of a Lady, as I am often torn between "standing for truth and righteousness" and tolerance. Yes, Rachel was a major pain in the neck, but she let go of her pride and used her faith in the Lord to help her change from within. Great message and a good reminder.
