Running from terrors both recent and remembered, Noelle flees her New York mansion for the Rocky Mountains, seeking a place to hide from the men who betrayed her. Her sanctuary is a horse ranch, where she discovers solace in the breathtaking scenery she paints. But as the attentions of two brothers slowly soften the wall she hides behind, the past she yearns to escape becomes a menacing threat she cannot deny.

 | I loved it!!!!!!! Sep 25, 2006 |
| I absolutely loved it. Characters are real, with real problems. Christians make mistakes and then ask for forgiveness. That is what I found while reading this wonderful book. Not for cookie cutter Christians. | | |  | Good storyline, but lacking spiritual depth Sep 24, 2006 |
| I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book but found it lacking in spiritual depth. I never truly got the sense that I was reading a novel that had a Christ-centered message. I believe this story would have had more value to it's readers if the Christian character, Rick, would have had a bigger part to play in the lives of the other characters. It was a good storyline full of intrigue, suspense, and a growing love between a man and a woman but left alot to be desired when it came to a true message of Godly hope and what it means to be a Christian in the world today. It is a clean read for those of us who find that neccessary. | | | | A "One Sitting" Read Jul 17, 2006 |
This was the first book I ever read by Kristen Heitzmann, & I followed it up with a couple more shortly thereafter. I felt as though I were gobbling down a feast I never wanted to end. When it was over I felt so joyous & serene, eagerly anticipating the sequel (which I just ordered).
I found so much of myself in Noelle & was deeply impacted by the way Mrs. Heitzmann gently yet realistically dealt with such issues as child & sexual abuse. It was impossible to dislike any character, even Michael, Noelle's former fiance & the focus of much of her initial angst. Each character was so well & gradually developed, & the window provided into each one's soul created an understanding of need, fear, & desire that made them all so real. Each character had different demons with which to deal; some overcame, others were lost, & a few...well, there's a sequel.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book & am glad it was my introduction to Mrs. Heitzmann's work. Definitely a book in which one could get lost for hours. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors. | | | | A breath of fresh air for the reader... Feb 20, 2006 |
| I feel like I have to appologize for my following statement: I am so sick and tired of reading Christian Romance/Suspence who's hero/heroin is devoid of any substance or struggle in their lives. They always seem to have control of themselves and their emotions and the other party in the book is always easily swayed into the arms of God. Having said that, I can not tell you what a breath of fresh air "A Rush of Wings" was. The characters are so real it is not hard at all to be able to relate to them on some level. They have real emotions and real struggles and they turn to God just the way you would expect them to-but my favorite part is they don't get an answer right away like some Christian books would like you to believe. No, one of the main characters in this book, Rick Spencer, depicts a normal man who has to spend time in prayer and the Word but who also has to take chances just like everybody else. And I absolutely love Noelle, the main character. She is so jaded from the world and the author, Kristen Heitzmann, makes no effort to hide Noelle's completely rational thoughts as so why Christianity is not for her, thus making her acceptance of the Lord that much more real and beautiful. I can honestly say I have never read a book that captivated me from the very first sentence until now. The only complaint I have is the back cover did this book absolutely no justice. If you are looking for a good book to read that is packed with romance, suspence and spiritual soundness minus the shoddy attempt to exclude any real romantic or desparate human emotion, then "A Rush of Wings" is a perfect book for you. | | | | Exceptionally well written Jan 30, 2006 |
| This emotionally charged novel has exceeded my expectations. Its predictability didn't take anything away--I wanted to see how the characters would get to where they were supposed to be. | | | Write your own review about A Rush of Wings (A Rush of Wings Series #1)
