desertcart.com: The Scarlet Thread: A Novel (The Historical Christian Fiction Story of Two Women, Centuries Apart, Joined through a Journal from the Oregon Trail): 0031809170632: Rivers, Francine: Books

Review: So good! - I have read many Francine Rivers’ books, but this one was very much a story of today’s challenges, fails, and hurts while integrating historical events that were applicable to the characters. There are different cultures, stressful job situations, high society women, infidelity, and more. It is tastefully written, the characters are well developed, and there is much Biblical truth told. I enjoyed it so much.
Review: Francine Rivers - This book is a great read- I highly recommend all of Francine Rivers books

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Realistic portrayal of the breakdown of a marriage
*by D***L on October 24, 2011*

I read this book in one sitting with tears streaming down my face. Rivers has a wonderful gift of making you feel like you are truly in the story, feeling what Sierra feels and crying with her when her heart is breaking. The unraveling of the marriage was and the dialogues seemed quite realistic. This was a couple who could not manage to communicate! Alex wanted a new job that gave him joy and satisfaction as a man and made him feel like a real "somebody" (idolatry) and Sierra wanted stability, no change, and for their lives to stay the same forever (idolatry). It was a good picture of how idols clashed and ultimately destroyed an already unsteady, fragile marriage. Alex flees to a woman who makes him "feel like a man" in response to Sierra's inability to accept his dreams and their new life. In fairness, Alex royally blew it from day one - he should have sat down with Sierra, and eased her patiently into such a huge, huge family decision to move. However, I feel Alex's character was a realistic portrayal of many men without Jesus Christ. Alex was driven by his idol - he needed, craved, lived to prove himself to the world and himself that he was indeed "worth something" and had risen above the lowly status of the son of a hard-working Mexican immigrant. As their marriage disintegrates, the words became harsher and uglier. I remarked to my husband that some of these nasty, bitter dialogues probably go one in the US every single day. After all, 50% of marriages end in divorce, right? I didn't give it five stars because I found the story of her great-great grandmother a bit distracting and added little to the book overall. Also, I feel that the reconciliation was too tidy. In real life, I imagine their dialogues be much uglier, quite colorful, and not so neatly packaged. A man who's cheated on you, insulted you, belittled you like a piece of worthless trash, and then comes crawling back is not going to get off so easily. Of course, Sierra is able to forgive through God's grace, but this was a woman who was profoundly sinned against over and over and over not only through adultery but belittlement with harsh words. In real life this would involve some serious marriage counseling and help from a strong Christian community to get to the root of their many issues. Once again, I just feel that their reconciliation was far too tidy and a bit borderline sentimental and cheesy. However, overall this was truly a fantastic book, a good picture of the pain of divorce and adultery and the healing power of Christ.
