“Splendid performance, Miss Austin. If you ever decide to pursue an acting career in Hollywood, give me a call.”
The nineteen-year-old gasped and stared at the gold lettering on the white card in her hand. It read, “Maxwell Talent Agency—Clyde Maxwell, talent scout.”
The Prodigal Daughter is based on the true story of a young and gifted woman who leaves home amid the protests and tears of her father. Headstrong and determined to become a star, Brianna soon finds herself swept into a world far different from the life of fame and riches she’d expected. As her dreams begin to crumble, little does she realize the horror into which she is about to plunge.
Like Jesus’ story of another errant child, The Prodigal Daughter portrays a father’s love and reminds us of how far our heavenly Father will go in order to redeem and restore His lost children. I pray that by the time you finish reading The Prodigal Daughter, you will have a renewed appreciation for the prayers of faithful parents, the forgiveness our Savior bestows on His wayward children, and the eternal love He lavishes on each of us daily.—Kay D.
