Kay's Comments: A great story! This is the second and final book in the "Mercy" series. While I think this book can stand alone, this series is worth the full read. Start with Saving Mercy by the same authors.
When I picked up Saving Mercy, I expected the son of Michael Landon to write a "sappy" and sentimental story. I was wrong. While it does contain some sentimental ideas, these are few. In fact, the storyline makes the reader hope for more truly sentimental moments. The writing is appropriate for harsh circumstances, yet there is hope.
Civil War and its aftermath are hard to me to read. A war with brother against brother is the most senseless. This book and its prequel left me full of emotion and, ironically, wanting more.
You are fortunate to find this when you can read book both in the series at the same time. After the first one, I could hardly wait for the second. I was not disappointed. It is a combination of conflict, deception, strength, faith and a bit of romance. Well worth the read!!!
