More from K.M. Daughters

In our first book in the Gospa series, Jewel of the Adriatic, on April 7th, 1992, rose petals rained on three teenagers walking past a craggy hill in their village, Valselo, near the Adriatic coast. The deluge stopped, and high on this hill, they saw a remarkably beautiful young woman with a child in her arms. They immediately thought that she was Jesus’ mother. She didn’t say anything to them but gestured for them to come closer. They were scared and ran. These three children were Anna, Elizabeta and Josip, who despite their fear, returned to the hill and were rewarded with another visitation by the mother of God, lovingly referred to as Our Lady of the Roses. Daily apparitions continued for decades as the visionaries became adults, guided by the heavenly visitor to pray, open their hearts fully to the salvation of Christ and carry her messages to the world in discipleship. Josip became a priest, instructed to pray for vocations. Elizabeta became a wife and mother, dedicated to praying for unbelievers. And Anna, also a wife and mother, was given the role of divulging secrets concerning all of mankind to an ordained priest, three days before the predicted events occur. In Rose of the Desert, we meet the “Belles of St. Mary’s”, lifelong girlfriends who have shared everything with each other since they met in grammar school. Or have they? When experiencing the all-knowing, forgiveness of God’s presence, will they change so they never have anything to hide again? The Belles’ lives intersect with Anna Babic’s when Anna travels to the United States to fulfill her heavenly appointed mission. Now the time has come.

My Thoughts

Be prepared to do some soul searching while reading this book. It draws you in from the first few pages. Given the current state of the world - this is a book that shows that in the end - God is in control. The book does follow more of a Catholic theology - with the girl needing to share her prophetic thoughts/speech with a priest. I still have a bad taste in my mouth because of the Catholic Church - but this story preached that Jesus is the way - not through good deeds.

This book reminded me of reading a play - which is outside the norm of what I read - but I enjoyed it. There are sprinkles and showers of God throughout the entire story. Great characters, well written story, heartwarming.

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging program - all thoughts are my own.
