The story is told through the eyes of Hosea who is writing his memoir about how God used his marriage as a living example of God's love for His people and all the ups and downs that he had to endure because of his obedience to God. It takes place in the DC Metro area over a 7-year period even though there are several flashbacks of him as a child. One of which, God tells Hosea in a dream when he was 8-years old to marry a woman that He would reveal to him one day. Hosea has been searching his whole life to find the woman of his dreams. When he thinks he found her (Sonya), God tells him no, it is Arianna the prostitute. Hosea also shares how following God is not all roses and blessings and how he was hated throughout this journey by people and his wife when he became a messenger for God.
