About the Book Every Flower of the Field

Book: Every Flower of the Field

Author: Sara Davison

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release date: February 15, 2023

Safe is the most dangerous feeling of all.

For as long as she can remember, Rose Galway has been a captive, controlled by one man or another. To her, though, God is holding the keys, refusing to set her free despite the desperate pleas she has sent heavenward.

Detective Laken Jones has known hardship too, including the daily trauma of racism. Still, nothing he has gone through compares to what Rose has endured. He wants nothing more than for her to experience hope and healing and maybe even happiness in her life.

But first, he has to find her.

Laken is willing to risk everything to set Rose free. And to help her find her way to God. Even if that means letting go of her—and the future he envisions for the two of them—forever.

My Thoughts on Every Flower of the Field

This is such a fast-paced novel.  It’s amazing.  Don’t get me wrong, it covers some hard things.  It covers some really hard topics.  This entire series does.  But they’re so good.  So good.  I couldn’t put them down.  I’ve read all the minis, the novellas, and the novels.  All of them.  The entire series, well except for those that aren’t released.  Those that I’m going to need ASAP please because I really need to know what happens to everyone else. Jae is still out there. 

Let me be frank here. 

I would not let a younger teenager read this series.  You might, but that’s up to you.  There is suggestion in it, but not out and out description.  There is a reference to bad words but ** is used instead.  Let’s keep being frank here.  It’s about women, and girls, who are trafficked.  Kidnapped and trafficked as prostitutes.  There’s no gentle way to write a novel about this.  There is blood and there is death and there’s even a house explosion.  

Don’t let this scare you away from the novel or the series though. 

It is amazingly well written.  This author can do amazing things with her pen.  You get the story and the heartache and the questions and the struggles.  I really felt like I was there and could understand what these girls are going through, even though there is no way that I actually can.  

Please do yourself a favor and read the series as it should be.  Read the novels and short stories in order.  Some of the stories are within collections of novellas.  But reading them in order gives you the back story of the characters.  Please don’t just pick up this one.  Yes, it would make sense but you’d be missing so much.  I don’t think you could get the full picture or the entire story.  I truly think you’d miss out on parts that are pivotal.  Or at least they were to me.  

This story revolves around Rose and Laken. 

They’ve never met until he shows up at the house she’s being held hostage and tries to rescue her.  But he knows who she is.  And he knows a lot of her story while he is a complete stranger to him.  As the story progresses so does their story together.  

I can’t share too much without giving away details but do know that rescuing her(which he doesn’t get her out of the house) and keeping her safe takes over a lot of the story and will keep you on the edge of your seat!

More from Sara

Neil Gaiman once said, “Fiction gives us empathy. It puts us inside the minds of other people, gives us the gift of seeing the world through their eyes…” To me, that is one of the primary reasons to read and to write fiction. Every time I write a scene with a character, it’s my job as the author to put myself inside that character, to think what they are thinking and feel what they are feeling, and to draw readers inside that character too.

When what that character is experiencing is deeply painful or traumatic, that job can be extremely difficult. In my series, two sparrows for a penny, the main characters of the first two books, Every Star in the Sky and Every Flower of the Field, have been caught up in sex trafficking for several years. What they experienced wasn’t easy to write about, especially since, although Tala’s and Rose’s stories are fictional, I am painfully aware that so many women have been or are currently in the same horrific situation.

It may be difficult to read about too, although the stories also contain humor and love and family and, ultimately, hope.

Still, it is so important that stories like these are told.

If Neil Gaiman is right, reading about what others are going through increases our empathy, our compassion, for their plight. And empathy and compassion are catalysts for action. If we turn away from suffering, and pretend it doesn’t exist, we do nothing to help alleviate it. But if we face it, and acknowledge it, we might find in ourselves the courage to take a stand against it, to do what we can to help, and let these women know that they are not alone.

That they are precious to God and they are precious to us.

The title of this series is two sparrows for a penny, which comes from Matthew 10:29: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.”

Every human being caught up in the unspeakably heinous world of trafficking is loved by God. He sees them and knows what they are going through and, one day, he will mete out perfect justice to all who perpetuate this evil. My hope and prayer for these stories is that readers will be compelled to pray for the women and some men who are victims of this practice and maybe even become involved, through a reputable agency, in working to help free those in captivity.

And I also hope and pray readers will be reminded that, whatever they are going through in life, they are never alone either. As God knows the name of every star and takes care even of the flowers of the field, He knows every one of our names and watches over us as well. Tala and Rose finally come to realize that, even in the midst of horrific circumstances, they were never alone. God saw them, remembered them, brought them out of captivity, and will continue to walk alongside them as they begin their long journeys of healing and hope.

And He repeatedly promises in His Word that He will do the same for every one of us.
