Outlaw begins in the 1960's with a violent storm. Julian and her infant son are fighting for their lives on board a sailboat until the ship breaks apart. After the captain dies and the boat sinks, men in a small boat approach Julian and take her out of the water, but it's not necessarily to save her. Without her child and alone in a world that she can't relate to, she does her best to stay alive. I found it fairly believable.
The things she has to do cause her to doubt God and rail against Him. As time goes on, she learns that the events of the day of the shipwreck are not exactly the way she believes them to be. She is made aware of a fact that will turn her life upside down once again, leaving her without bearable options. Once her eyes are opened, she becomes part of a greater story than she imagined. I won't go into detail about the second half of the book - I don't want to add spoilers!
But when I got to the second section of the book, I felt that it was rushed. The stories of Julian and many other wonderful characters were just cut off. I was left wanting more. Stephen was underdeveloped, unrealistic, and lacking in emotion.
