"Redeeming Love" - Coming to Theatres on January 21st

 THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILM ADAPTATION OF BESTSELLING NOVEL

   ‘REDEEMING LOVE’ 

Disclosure: I received a screener of this movie to review.

I absolutely love this movie.  I had so many emotions when watching this movie. It is a heartbreaking story about a young girl who is forced into prostitution at a very young age and disconnects herself from everyone around her. When a young farmer sees her walking in town, he makes a commitment to make her his wife and take her away from the only life she’s known.  However, when he comes to rescue her, she doesn’t understand why he would want her, and he doesn’t receive the reception he expected.  Through perseverance he convinces her to take a chance, however things don’t go as smoothly as expected. 

This is a must see romance movie that is unlike any other I’ve seen.  I can’t wait to watch it again. I think it will win awards.

REDEEMING LOVE is a powerful and timeless love story that takes place against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush of 1850. The story centers on Angel (Cowen), who was sold into prostitution as a child. She has survived through hatred and self-loathing, until she meets Michael Hosea (Lewis) and discovers there is no brokenness that love can’t heal. The story reflects the redemptive power of unconditional and sacrificial love with characters and circumstances relevant to the contemporary world.

It is a very inspiring and timeless story.” “The story is still as relevant today as it was 30 years ago,” said “Euphoria” star Eric Dane. “It is a story that portrays the battle of light versus dark with unlikely redemption waiting for you at the end.” Director D.J.
