Summary
From: Carol Pennington
Book Title: Endless Mercy
Book Author: Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse What do you like about this book:
Set in Nome, Alaska in the Late 1800s, Endless Mercy follows the life of three sisters who were abandoned by their drunken father. The girls thought their father dead, but then he shows up in their lives years later when their mother died suddenly. To make matters worse, they learn he has a new family. They struggle with trying to understand and trying to control the anger they feel. Can they find it in their hearts to forgive and show the mercy they know God expects from them?
This is a very moving and enjoyable story. Even though I can’t personally relate to the setting or to the time period, the characters really came to life for me. I loved the farm scenes, especially the ones with the sheep. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud several times. I was also very touched by how the family embraced the new siblings, even though they were reluctant to do so. This is the second book in a series and I have not yet read the first, but I am certain to do so now. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good, clean heartwarming story with a bit of romance added for good measure.
