Another fantastic story from Sara Davison! I love the way she mingles faith with suspense and romance.
Told from multiple perspectives, Lost Down Deep kept me wondering. Who was Ryan Taylor really? While my instincts were to trust him, he clearly had a past that was less than savory. And Summer - what had she been doing in those years she had lost? Why in the world would someone injure her in that way?
There are some deep spiritual themes related to forgiveness, trust, and returning prodigals. Wrapped neatly in the narrative, they are told very naturally and beautifully. I especially loved the way the author showed how wrong it is to try to do penance for things already forgiven.
If you read the Hope is Born anthology, you may remember Daphne and Shawn. They make an appearance here as the owners of the café where Summer finds a job. I loved that couple and was so glad to see them again to get more of their story.
Though Lost Down Deep had a clear ending, I'm anxiously awaiting the next story in The Rose Tattoo Trilogy, which I'm guessing (and hoping!) is going to be about Cash!
