A Heart Revealed

When I found out that this book was coming out two months ago I was super excited because the premise of the story sounded right up my alley. Jessman has added her now signature edginess to the story along with a strong Christian message. Despite being a lot more controversial than Siri Mitchell she packs more of a spiritual punch.
  This book is the second volume in the Winds of Change series and A Heart Revealed continues the O'Conner Saga. I wrote a review of the previous book, you might want to check it out to understand a little more about the characters.
  A Heart Revealed centers around Sean O'Conner and, Emma Malloy, a women who fled Ireland ten years before from her abusive husband. Sean is the super dependable type of bachelor who has no intention of ever marrying. But he has a violent temper hidden underneath his easy-going exterior. Emma has a world of trouble and heartache that holds her back.
  They have been very close friend for years and both are shocked and horrified when they fall in love. Even though Emma has a biblical reason to divorce she can't because they are both Catholics. Emma tries to push Sean toward Rose, a girl he is attracted to but does not love because she wants him to be happy.
  Emma is a wonderful character, sweet and gentle with a little bit of sass. I felt so sad for her because she had such a terrible life but her faith in God stands true. I was quite pleased that Lessman held such a strong case against adultery, not just with a preachy message, but with characters that seem real.
  If you want to find out how the story ends you will have to read A Heart Revealed. I probably not recommend this book to a junior higher because of the slightly more sexual content but it is a clean book with a strong Christian message.
