review 1: Once again, Jana Petken has written a page turner, filled to the brim with heartache, wonder and fantastic imagery. The story of Mercy Carver has only just started, but with each turning page I was becoming more and more invested in the story. I cried, I laughed, I hated with a vengeance and wished ill on those who hurt her and her friends. The story starts with the simple life of a couple having their first baby, and then tragedy strikes and it seems that the beginning of Mercy's life will be fraught with despair. Yet, the way that Petken writes, you know that you are in for a heart warming tale from beginning to end.I have never really been one to like Historical Fiction, but yet when I read Petken's books I find that I become enthralled within a few pages and am despera... morete to know whether there will be a happy ever after. I'm pleased to know that the sequel to this book is due out later this year because I don't think I can wait too much longer to know what happens to Mercy and whether or not she will be able to escape the cruel hand of Du Pont. It's a great book, well written and excellently crafted and I highly recommend it to people who love a fantastic story from beginning to end!
review 2: I fell in love with Mercy Carver's attitude that I don't follow down ... September 03, 2014 I fell in love with Mercy Carver's attitude that I don't follow down pre-arranged destiny path, but forge my own path and my own destiny. Mercy Carver is a fighter and a survivor! The story is compelling and well thought out. The scenes flowed with ease and I literally ate the pages dying to know what happens next. Jane Petken is a excellent writer!!! Mercy endured so much and still survived. I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed!!!! less
