As the gray smoke from the Civil War fades, Mercy is in a war with herself, between who she used to be and who she has the possibility of becoming. As she battles her amnesia, Mercy finds romance, but how can she go on with life and love when she does not know the secrets of her past?
Traces of Mercy is not a predictable, cookie-cutter love story; it includes a public hanging, war violence, and attempted murder, but no gruesome details are presented. Although Mercy stays in a convent, any reader can enjoy the novel because there is not excessive religious jargon. This novel is written with the perfect balance of romance and self-discovery and allows readers to consider their own opinions along with Mercy.
After a story twist, the novel ends abruptly, purposefully leaving readers hungering for a possible second book to conclude this unforgettable story.
