Sarah Redeemed (Girls from the Mountain Book 3) Kindle Edition

Martha Palmer, the generous benefactor of Palmer House—a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution—has died. Denver society turns out in strength to honor the elderly woman, as do many of the young women who have lived, at some point during the past decade, under the roof of Palmer House and under the steady and godly leadership of Rose Thoresen.

For Sarah Ellinger, Rose’s trusted right hand, an invitation to the reading of Martha’s will raises the possibility—and the fervent hope—that Martha has endowed Palmer House with funds to keep the ministry running. However, Sarah expects to receive nothing from Martha for herself. She is as stunned as every Palmer House girl present at the reading to hear:

“To every young woman who lives or has lived at Palmer House and remains unmarried at the time of the reading of this will, I bequeath the sum of five hundred dollars as a bridal gift, payable upon her marriage. To those girls who have already married, I bestow the same amount, payable upon the execution of this will. If, however, a young woman who has lived at Palmer House remains single, I bequeath the same sum, five hundred dollars, payable upon her thirty-ninth birthday.”

Five hundred dollars was a fortune many a Palmer House girl would never, in her lifetime, see again in a lump sum; it could enable a newly married couple to begin their marriage debt-free, perhaps buy a little piece of land or leverage a mortgage to purchase a home.

While the girls of Palmer House, current and former, wept and rejoiced aloud, Sarah did not. She slowly shook her head.

Oh, Martha. You left me a wonderful gift, for which I am most grateful. However, I cannot claim this gift unless I marry—or until I am quite near middle-aged. Why, Martha? Why did you arrange your generous bequest this way? I shall not be able to claim your gift for nearly eleven years . . . because I will never marry, no matter what the enticement to do so.

This wonderful story of brokenness and redemption, was one I couldn’t put down! Every moment was filled with the strong emotions of events both women and men experienced that were life altering!! To remind us who know Him, that God’s love and forgiveness is boundless when we confess our sin and truly repent. The strong emphasis of prayer and His Word is why this book is a must read for anyone who is witnessing to the lost.

The depths to which this story reaches into God's word makes me want to be better prepared as a Christian when another Christian needs guidance to be restored. How wonderful if all of us loved and cared for one another as Rose cared for Sarah

5.0 out of 5 stars A Topic That Few People Want to Talk About!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022

Sarah Redeemed quickly gets into the topic of pedofile sexual encounters and this topic continues throughout the book. We learn about grooming a young person to ensure that the child does not report the activity. It seems that Sarah in this book was groomed by "boyfriends" of her mother and was then told by her violators that the activity was normal. Yes, sexual relations are normal in adults but not in children.

One thing that I did like in this book was that Sarah herself was involved in helping to rescue victims of pedofilia.

Thank you SO much Ms. Kestell; the messages by the pastors & Rose were full of wisdom, love, and "sharper than a two-edged sword." And i needed to "hear" this and especially work on recall and forgiveness. Besides all that, it's a wonderful story with deep characters, a love-filled ending, and now I want to read a sequel with Sarah and Dr, Croft! P.S. Appendix A is very balanced & informative esp to those in the church who would rather not think about or try to help people struggling or engaged in sin....

Sarah Redeemed follows another one of the girls from the mountain. If you don't know what that means then you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that this is the most recent in an excellent series of books.

While it can stand alone on it's own merits, know that if you enjoy this book that you've only experienced the tip of the iceberg:-)

The way that God works in the life of an individual is as varied as the number of individuals in creation!

Our problems and our weaknesses make us unique. God's ability to address those weaknesses is a testament to His character and capabilities!

And His desire is for you. To be in relationship with you. And for you to learn who He is and what He has done for you and on your behalf.

I can whole heartedly recommend all of Vikki Kestell's writings and I look forward to each new release. I've read everyone! lol

To sum up the whole I would say that she has an amazing insight. One that is obviously inspired. May God bless you as you read these stories!

Vikki Kestell is my all time favorite author! Why? Because she pulls in faith and Biblical references into everyday situations which challenges me to digger deeper into my own faith. Her books inspire me to develop my walk with the Lord to be more than my morning quiet time - to also envelopment me with every step I take, every thought I have, every breath I breathe, all throughout the day; and they reinforce the knowledge that the Lord is Lord of all and is not restricted by time or people to bring about His perfect will. Her characters are real, so real that you feel that you know them as more than a character in a story. I am grateful for the gift that God has given you and that you are sharing that gift with your readers.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Controversial Novel
Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
This final book in the series received my lowest rating. :-) This is not because the author’s style worsened or that she didn’t keep my interest but rather because her theology becomes offensive (at least it does to me). I made huge ‘concessions’ to accommodate the context of the early 1900s for most of her stories and also accepted her evangelical fundamentalism as a ‘valid perspective’. In this story, however, her judgemental attitude towards homosexual persons irks me throughout. “Sin” is a human reality but the author’s glib treatment (through fundamentalist prayers) of major trauma is quite misleading. The Scripture passages (far too many - even for a so-called faith-filled novel) are often misrepresented and quoted from antiquated versions of The Holy Bible. I, too, have a PhD and my hair stood on end at the treatment offered (for major abuse) in this narrative. My Feminist Theological perspectives frown upon the author’s “all male” God and fumed at some of the simplistic applications to both prayer and the Gospel of Christ. If anyone wishes to read this book, the Appendix deals with the author’s rather rigid views on homosexuality (especially being a lesbian) and didn’t relieve any of my qualms while reading the story. I kept placing it in the confines of the early 1900s but, unfortunately, the author is still stuck there. I am grateful that she does NOT preach ‘conversion therapy’, which is now banned in Canada but her erroneous belief that homosexuality can be ‘healed’ through prayer, is splashed on many of this book’s pages. Disappointing to end with this book and I shall no longer read anything by Vikki Kestell. There is so much out there that I shall not use my time reading an author’s work that does not build me up but rather irks and frustrates me.
