Through a series of flashbacks, viewers learn Angel’s heartbreaking story. Though confused by God’s choice for him, Michael nevertheless decides to act in obedience and pursues Angel despite her reputation. A soft-spoken, doe-eyed farmer, Michael is confident that God has appointed Angel to be his bride, the one he has waited for and prayed over. One particular man who spots Angel as she walks down the street, flanked by her towering bodyguard, is Michael Hosea. Beautiful and flaxen-haired, Angel draws crowds of swarming men eager to receive her services. There, the most sought-after prostitute is a young woman named Angel. “Redeeming Love” opens in gold rush-era California, where disheveled men scrounge for gold in murky water before heading to Pair-o-Dice, where a cold woman known as “the Duchess” runs a brothel.

The film is directed by DJ Caruso and produced by Roma Downey (“The Bible”) and Cindy Bond (“I Can Only Imagine”). Now, the book is hitting the big screen in a Universal Pictures film adaptation starring Abigail Cowen, Nina Dobrev, Tom Lewis and Eric Dane. Her modern retelling of the biblical account of the Hosea and his wayward wife, Gomer, sold 3 million copies and garnered hoards of loyal fans, not coincidentally at the height of purity culture. In the ’90s and early 2000s, Francine Rivers’ novel Redeeming Love took the Christian world by storm.
