Finding Lady Enderly by Joanna Davidson Politano

If we have accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior no one or thing can take this truth away from us. He has NO power to take away our dignity or our place with God. My most favorite moment in Finding Lady Enderly is when I read the following: “No human has the power to take away the inherent dignity given by God, or change the identity He has granted you of belonging to Him.” And, the same can be said about the devil. It’s a little scary, and it really brings the point home that we need to make sure we are daily wearing God’s full armor. He can slide into the smallest aperture in our brains and sound SO convincing. It’s crazy how sinuous and snakelike the devil is. Man has the devil been giving me an earful! Unfortunately, in my weakness, I was starting to believe him. I desperately needed this reminder this week. But then Raina’s guardian angel breaks through Raina’s negative loop in her brain and she begins to hear God’s true Voice - the one that tells her she’s worthy, cherished, and valued.

She is, and always will be, just Ragna the useless, worthless rag girl. For a good 70-75% of this novel, the voice of Prendergast is so dominant that Raina begins to believe that his lowly estimate of her worth is true. Prendergast, offers her an amazing deal that seems too good to be true. Raina, our heroine, has a metaphorical angel and demon on her shoulders. And, I love, love, love the very timely and thought-provoking inspirational messages. The hero and heroine are relatable and endearing, the secondary characters are complicated and charming, and the villains are the perfect balance of very bad and heartbreaking. This story has it all - mystery, intrigue, adventure, romance, and reconciliation. If you are planning to read Finding Lady Enderly, which I highly recommend you do, know that you are in for an outstanding journey.
