Rose in the Desert by K.M. Daughters

About the Book

Book:  Rose in the Desert
Author: K.M. Daughters
Genre:  Christian Contemporary Fiction

Release Date: July 2020

Anna Babic Robbins, dubbed “The Rose Of The Adriatic” by pilgrims to her village, leaves her home bound for America. She is to deliver secrets concerning the fate of the world to a Chicago priest who will shepherd mankind to prepare to hear God speak.

Four women travel to Las Vegas, and while there, snow begins to fall during triple digit heat. They soon learn that the non-accumulating snowfall is a worldwide phenomenon—a universal sign from God preceding the gift of a permanent sign inexplicable by earthly standards.

With the culmination of these miraculous events, all their paths intersect, and God will reveal His plans to each soul on earth.

Will mankind listen?

My Thoughts:
I can't say that I absolutely loved this book, but I can say that it did make me stop and think quite a bit.  The author does a really good job in making the story line thought provoking and readers have to actually think a bit throughout.  I loved that.  Anna is somewhat of a prophet who needs to come to America so she can find a specific priest to share her words.
The book isn't fast paced, but it isn't slow either.  It kept me interested and I did wonder a couple of times what a specific thing was meant to show (and found out later).  The women in Vegas each have their own issues.  The worldwide phenomenons were intriguing and it did make me stop and wonder what the responses from the people would be.
It was a 4/5 for me.

More from K.M. Daughters

In our first book in the Gospa series, Jewel of the Adriatic, on April 7^th, 1992, rose petals rained on three teenagers walking past a craggy hill in their village, Valselo, near the Adriatic coast. The deluge stopped, and high on this hill, they saw a remarkably beautiful young woman with a child in her arms. They immediately thought that she was Jesus’ mother. She didn’t say anything to them but gestured for them to come closer. They were scared and ran. These three children were Anna, Elizabeta and Josip, who despite their fear, returned to the hill and were rewarded with another visitation by the mother of God, lovingly referred to as Our Lady of the Roses. Daily apparitions continued for decades as the visionaries became adults, guided by the heavenly visitor to pray, open their hearts fully to the salvation of Christ and carry her messages to the world in discipleship. Josip became a priest, instructed to pray for vocations. Elizabeta became a wife and mother, dedicated to praying for unbelievers. And Anna, also a wife and mother, was given the role of divulging secrets concerning all of mankind to an ordained priest, three days before the predicted events occur. In Rose of the Desert, we meet the “Belles of St. Mary’s”, lifelong girlfriends who have shared everything with each other since they met in grammar school. Or have they? When experiencing the all-knowing, forgiveness of God’s presence, will they change so they never have anything to hide again? The Belles’ lives intersect with Anna Babic’s when Anna travels to the United States to fulfill her heavenly appointed mission. Now the time has come.
