To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette

There was no expectation of a positive review, and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts. I highly recommend Between the Wild Branches to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction.I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. We're given a glimpse of Cossette's deep faith and motivated to evaluate our own. Lukio is about to wed Mariada, the King's daughter, and Shoshanna is a servant to that very same daughter! This is a story that I won't soon forget, and it proves once again this author's remarkable talent for weaving fiction with Bible scripture and historical facts. Two children, Risi and her younger brother Lukio, who would forever be changed because of a chance to experience life among God's chosen people! Now, in this book, Lukio has been reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Shoshanna, but there are many reasons why they will never be free to share an adult love. The first, To Dwell Among Cedars, shared the tale of two young Philistine children who followed The Ark of the Covenant as it was being returned to the Israelites.

By sharing these scenes, author Connilyn Cossette shows that redemption is always possible, and forgiveness is a gift that is available to all.This book is the second part of the Covenant House duology. Between the Wild Branches is a touching story of love, betrayal, and loss, but it's also an inspiring story of love, redemption, and forgiveness! The first scenes were hard for me to read because of the brutal fight scenes between Lukio and his opponent, but they powerfully illustrate just how far a person can drift from his true self.
