What are the motifs in Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard?

God's love is a recurring idea in the book. This novel is almost complete allegory and the largest, most important use of imagery and symbolism is the representation of God as the Shepherd. Much-Afraid has always had an emptiness inside her and she has sought for her entire life to satisfy it. That emptiness might be described as a "God-shaped hole" which, by the end of her pilgrimage, has obviously been completely filled by love and utter, unabashed faith in the love of the Shepherd, or God.
