The Scarlet Ribbon is a Revolutionary War re-telling of the story of Rahab, which is an interesting blend of stories. I thought that the author did a great job of bringing to life the historical time period and the battle for Stony Point, one that I didn't know a lot about when I started the story. My heart broke for Rebekah, since her circumstances left her to turn to prostitution to earn a living during the Revolutionary War. The story doesn't shy away from the horrible situation some women found themselves in back then, though it also handles it tastefully and doesn't give details. I would recommend this story for young adults and adults but won't let my daughter read it until she is much older.
This story has a beautiful message of redemption.
I received this book from the publisher. This is my honest review.
