Shades of Mercy


Someday is the word that keeps Mercy and Mick going.  Someday, the world around them will accept that a Maliseet Indian and farmers daughter can be together. But in 1954, that someday seems like it might be a ways off. Especially when things start to change for the four Maine tribes.
Set up as the first part of Mercy's story, this coming of age tale is bound to delight readers. I loved the sspiritual aspect of the story, but I also really liked the historical side. I look forward to the next part of the story!

Bedtime Prayers that End with a Hug

This adorable children's book is fun to use at bedtime with it's topics that are nice and short, but have a nice variety of Scripture, thoughts, and ways to apply attributes. I think that it is a great routine to get into with your little ones, since it helps them understand how to apply Scripture to their lives at a young age. This book is also cute with how it ends with hugs every night, since the conclusion of each topic/story is a hug.:)
Two thumbs up!

The Hero's Lot

A while back, I posted about new authors I had found that I enjoyed. Patrick Carr was on that list, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read his second novel, The Hero's Lot. It did not disappoint! The characters were every bit as real and fun in this one as they were in A Cast of Stones! I liked that the story is about more than one character and that it keeps you on your toes. Two thumbs up! I'm looking forward to reading the third book in the series when it comes out.
