review 1: This is a tale of Mercy who lived during 1954 and who is in a secret relationship with her Maliseet beau Mick. She lives with her parents on a farm, and her father hires the Maliseet to help him work it. The Maliseet are living below poverty level as they make their homes at the local garbage dump. Mick tries to rise above all that and dreams of a life of college and a marriage with Mercy. All of this comes to a crashing halt as one Maliseet dares to run away with the love of his life, a prominent shop keeper's daughter. Now the whole town is on edge, past secrets come to the surface, and allegations are made which can destroy Mick and Mercy's future happiness. This story is told from Mercy's perspective and we follow along with her as she holds on to true love, lear... morens some valuable lessons, and sees the strength of her father and mother's faith as well. I looked forward to reading more of Mick and Mercy's story in the next book. I received this book from The Book Club Network, Inc. for my honest opinion.
review 2: Shades of Mercy is an excellent story set in the 1950's in Maine. I admit that I never thought that race relations would have been an issue in Maine. But, Native Americans in that area were disregarded by the entitled, in many cases. This book opened a new chapter of history of which I had been unaware. It was written from the point-of-view of a 15 year old young woman, trying to figure out the world and why it was so unjust. Shades of Mercy is worth your time. less
