ABOUT THE BOOK

From Michael Landon Jr. and Cindy Kelley, authors of The Silent Gift and creators of the hit television film Love Comes Softly, comes an exciting historical romance set in post-Civil War, and filled with suspense and faith-building values.

At the war’s end, a young woman suffers an accident that leaves her unconscious and alone. Waking with amnesia, she takes the name Mercy and wants more than anything to find out the truth of her past. But then a handsome stranger arrives, who may hold the key to everything she has forgotten. What he knows could devastate her future, and even end her life.

Written by two proven storytellers, Traces of Mercy is perfect for anyone who loves historical fiction, prairie-based tales, or just a good romance.

My Thoughts: 
I enjoyed this book.  I fell in love with Mercy and wanted peace for her character from the start.  There were a few event choices that I did not feel where real natural.  Some of the things had me going with Mercy really do that or why wouldn't she do this. I won't go into detail because they would give away a lot of the story line, but even with that I thought this was a great book.  It was an adventurous story.  My biggest complaint is that it ended unfinished I hate having to wait for the next book in a series!
