In this third novel in the Water series, Riedweg quickly draws us into the turbulent world of the Cresswells' adopted daughter, Rachael. Now 16, Rachael yearns for more freedom and excitement than a prairie farm has to offer. While her younger brother is blissfully content tending cows, Rachael is not, preferring instead the company of her wild older cousin. This attraction both puzzles and concerns her parents, but they are distracted by an unexpected challenge of their own.
Rachael's frustration brims over, leading to a rash decision. Slowly but surely, she is pulled into a dangerous, shadowy world. Her inner strength and faith are sorely tested, as are those of her family. We, the readers, become desperately hopeful, trudging wet city streets with a girl whose teardrops feel like our own.
Seamless and compelling, Wellspring of Love is a not just a story of peril and courage, but a testament to hope, faith and love.
