Here's another in what seems to be an unending stream
of hard-to-identify books: A customer is looking for a
book with this plot: A man meets a woman (she is
already in a relationship with another man), but God
tells him this is the woman he should be with despite
the fact that she is a prostitute. This could be set
in the South in the 1800s.
Any ideas out there?

You might take a look at Francine Rivers' Redeeming love - the time is
right, it's not south, but southwest, but the other plot elements fit.
I think it's been mentioned recently in the context of our Christian fiction
with an edge thread.

After being beaten, Angel, a young prostitute,
decides to accept devout Christian Michael
Hosea's offer of marriage and falls in love not
only with him, but also with God.
Library Journal Review: Rivers has rewritten a
secular historical romance of the same name
(Bantam, 1991) for the Christian market, and it
is a splendid piece of work exploring both
physical love and a love of God. Angel, a young,
hardened prostitute sold into "the life" as a
child, has no interest in God or religion. Then
she meets Michael Hosea, a devout Christian who
tells her it is his mission to save her. After
being badly beaten, Angel decides to take Michael
up on his offer of marriage. Eventually, she
learns not only to love Michael but to love God
as well. There is not one false note in this
wonderful novel. The publisher's foreword rates
the book "PG" for its adult themes and subplots
of rape and incest.
However, these are handled with great sensitivity
and are very much a part of the story's
development. Very highly recommended for most
libraries.
