The Redemption of Caralynne Hayman by Carole Brown is a
suspenseful and emotional read. My only caution is that this book deals with
cults and abuse, and so readers should keep in mind that it’s not a
lighthearted read.
Caralynne lives in a cult of the Children of Righteous
Cain. When Caralynne’s husband dies, the elders must make decisions about her
future. At the same time, Dayne MacFarland, a friend from Caralynne’s past,
returns to the cult as their preacher.
I was intrigued by this book because I’d heard it was about
cults and had seen the cover, but wasn’t sure how the cover fit in. Anyway, if readers can handle the subject matter, I think they'll enjoy this suspense story, as I did.
