Cherished Mercy

Heart of the Frontier Book 3

About This Book:

As Oregon Territory teeters on the brink of armed conflict, one woman strives for peace.
Mercy Flanagan survived the Whitman Massacre as a child, and now her heart's cry is for peace between the native peoples and the white settlers inhabiting Oregon Territory. Unfortunately, most of the settlers want the tribes removed from the land completely, one way or another.

At the request of family friend Eletta Browning, who is experiencing a difficult pregnancy, Mercy travels south to the Rogue River Valley to help. At the Browning Mission, she meets Eletta's brother-in-law, Adam. Despite her attempts to befriend him, Adam seems determined to focus on ministering to the local tribes and keeps her at arm's length. Why is he so intent on pushing her away?

When tragedy strikes and tensions in the territory reach the combustion point, Mercy is pushed to the limit of her strength. She and Adam will have to rely on their faith in God and on each other in order to make it out alive.

My Thoughts on This Book/Series:

I have loved each of these three books in this series. Getting to know each sister throughout all of them as they leave off where the others have finished. The first two books we get to know the two oldest sisters, in this book we get to know the youngest, Mercy. Her compassionate heart even after tragedy as a youth shows how you can take a bad situation and still learn to love and live.

Mercy decides to take a long trip to help a family friend with a hard pregnancy. Not knowing the true history of this family and their daughter, Mercy makes it there and settles in. She meets Adam, the brother in law to Eletta. Adam thinking she will cause more trouble than help, he keeps his distance at first. When Mercy comes across more tragedy, her faith is put to the test. Can she overcome another obstacle and will she find love and forgiveness in her heart? This series was a delight to read and look forward to reading Tracie's next book series.
