What do you like about this book:
3.5 stars
"Did the members of the team all sit around and laugh behind their hands at the gullible little Emma Selah . . . . ?"
This short form novella is exactly what you might expect it to be . . . .brief and sweet. And it certainly lives up to those expectations, but it also seems a bit larger than life, since these characters populate three other novels where their presence has tremendous impact on others. So yes, at its core, this is a love story.( "in any language" is an understatement, Selah speaks five or is it six and she's going for seven?) But it's also a glimpse into the hearts of heroes who work hard, love their country, take risks, survive misunderstandings, and depend on their faith during the best and worst of times.
So, enjoy meeting Selah and Pena as they navigate the troubled waters of dangerous missions while trying to rebuild their trust in each other, trust that was tested by the kind of fire that only made it stronger.
