Devoted tells the story of Rachel Walker. Raised in a strict
Calvinist Christian family in a remote texan town, her life is
controlled in every way, from what she wears to where she goes, to
what she should and shouldn't read. Her parents decide every aspect
of how she must live, and her life is already mapped out for her:
Marriage, children, modesty and obedience to her future husband.
Rachel lives in the shadow of her perfect older sister Faith, and
younger sister Ruth who always knows what to say in her prayers,
whereas Rachel can never find the right words. But when someone
from the community's past returns - a girl who escaped this narrow
world - Rachel's life is turned upside down. this is a story about
one woman's fight to live life to its fullest. the characters and
the setting are very believable, the story line is full of drama,
and we cheer Rachel on all the way.
