On the Nightstand: The Edge of Mercy

I ran across this title in my continuing effort to read more contemporary Christian fiction. The Edge of Mercy: who isn’t or hasn’t been there?

I was thrown a little by the cover–it doesn’t look contemporary–but then I read that it’s the story of two women, three hundred years apart, one during the time of King Philip’s War (which involved some of my ancestors), and I decided to give this a try for May.

This book and author Heidi Chiavaroli’s earlier books get great reviews, so I’m looking forward to diving into The Edge.
