5 out of 5 starsAnother excellent book by Francine Rivers, 2008-09-17
I found this author a year ago and have loved every book I have read by her. I think this may be my favorite yet.

5 out of 5 starsLOVED IT!!, 2008-08-01
WOW! I never knew what was going to happen next. I couldn't put it down. The characters were real,and full of the struggles we all face. Francine Rivers is a Christian author, so if you know that we cannot live without our blessed Savior, and the truth of His Word, applied effectively in our life, then you'll be glad to have read, The Scarlet Thread. Enjoy!!

5 out of 5 starsGreat read!, 2008-07-17
I thought this was a fabulous book! I love how the two stories of Sierra and Mary Kathryn are intertwined and how you go from one to the next, they flow so well together. I spent the first 3/4 of the book mad at the husband chracter of course, *laughs* but it worked out and I am glad we did this book for our book club.

3 out of 5 starsAn ok book, 2008-06-18
The first half of the book was really good, I really liked both of the stories, but the end was pretty cheesey and I didn't love it. Worth reading, but not on my favorites list. (Mark of the Lion and Redeeming Love are much better)

2 out of 5 starsYou'll want to read it fast or you'll feel depressed!!!, 2008-05-21
Let me begin by saying that I loved the Mark of the Lion series and enjoyed Redeeming Love. But as I was reading this book and witnessing a realistic picture of a family falling apart I felt as though a black cloud was hovering overhead. I HAD to finish this book in one day or else I would have been scowling at my husband (of no fault of his own, merely the actions of a fictional man!!!) while feeling a darkness in my heart. For, as always, Rivers writes with such emotion that you can literally feel the pain of the character. If you want a feel good story THIS IS NOT IT!!!

I LOVE historical fiction so I thought I might enjoy this contemporary laced with a historical story. Interestingly enough, I found that the historical story bored me. It was sad but, I suppose it's because it was in a diary format, I didn't really get too into the characters... therefore I didn't get into the story. I was half tempted to skip it entirely. Instead I just scanned the journal entries to get back to the main story athand.

Boy, and that story... what a depressing story. First this Jerk of a husband makes life-changing decisions without consulting with his wife and then seems stumped by her bitterness!! He doesn't even make an effort to try and console his wife. They were both exceedingly selfish characters, neither caring a lick for the other's feelings. She continues wallowing in bitterness and resentment instead of trying to make the best of things.

Before long things spiral out of control!!! And her mom!! I don't want to spoil the story but the loss Sierra faced--all alone!!-- broke my heart.

The adultery aspect... wow. I don't want to give away the ending so I will just say this. I wouldn't blame her if she never took him back. I certainly would not be able to. And if she did she is a more gracious person than ANY of the ladies I know.
