enjoyable sisters story
This is book 2 of the “Treasures of Nome” series which focuses on sister Madysen’s story, although her sisters Whitney and Havyn Powell are also big characters in the story as well. I don’t remember if I read book 1, but it didn’t stop me from reading and enjoying this story line and characters. The sisters struggle with faith, forgiveness and acceptance which was the recurring themes through out this story set in Nome Alaska. I liked seeing them personally grow and figure out their talents and God’s plan for them. There was never a dull moment on their farm which was enjoyable and funny to read – I loved all the animals. I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Enjoyable Historical Romance!
Is it possible to forgive a father that you had believed dead, but who had apparently left you, your sisters, and your mother years ago because he loved alcohol more? How do you overcome the grief of losing a mother who loved music and encouraged you to share your God-given musical talents with others? If you're one of the three Powell sisters, you depend on each other as you struggle with these emotions. Endless Mercy is a lovely story that shows the wonderful bond between Whitney, Havyn, and Madysen Powell and the strong Christian upbringing that they have been given. It also shows the struggle that the youngest sister Madysen faces as she contemplates leaving Nome, Alaska, for a musical career elsewhere. Is it God's will for her to leave her grandfather and sisters, not to mention a young man who offers her strength and comfort? Would she really be comfortable performing in a traveling show? Authors Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse have written a touching historical novel that focuses on the deep love between siblings. Endless Mercy realistically shows their grief for their mother and their bitterness for their father but this book is never depressing. It is, instead, a story of hope, forgiveness, and the marvelous gift of mercy. If you're looking for a heartwarming Christian romance that gives you all of the feels, you will want to read Endless Mercy! I received a copy of this book from the authors via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

A heartwarming historical novel
Endless Mercy by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse has Madysen Powell feeling angry towards her father. All these years the three girls thought he was dead. Now he shows up looking to reconnect with them and he is asking for forgiveness. Madysen loves her sheep and is looking forward to the expansion of the cheese business. However, Madysen dreams of singing in concert halls around the world. When a man shows up in town who can offer her this opportunity will Madysen leave Nome or will she pick the man a little closer to home? I thought Endless Mercy was a well-written novel with developed characters. While the story focuses on Madysen, we get to catch up with the other two sisters. Havyn is happily married while Whitney is busy training her sled dogs. The grandfather is recovering, and the girls’ father has arrived in town. Judas Reynolds has not given up on finding leverage on the Powell family. I thought the authors’ captured the time period and the location of Nome, Alaska. I enjoyed the descriptions of the town, the sisters’ performances, the farm, and the process of making cheese. I liked seeing Madysen grow as an individual. Madysen must decide whether to pursue her singing ambitions or the path the Lord has set for her. Mercy, grace, and forgiveness are the main themes in Endless Mercy. I like how faith and God are incorporated into the story. I thought Endless Mercy was a well-balanced novel. Endless Mercy is the 2nd book in The Treasures of Nome series. Endless Mercy can be read as a standalone, however, I recommend reading both books (in order) in this engaging historical series. I am looking forward to reading the Whitney’s story in the final installment in The Treasures of Nome series.

Journey to Finding Mercy
This has been a wonderful journey about forgiveness, mercy, unconditional love and finding a renewed relationship with Jesus. I loved getting to know the three sisters better in this book. Their voices are like angels as they perform and bring enjoyment to all that listen. I loved the description of Madysen’s beautiful hair. It was easy to picture it cascading down her back as the light brought out the color of autumn leaves. This story focuses on Madysen and how she struggles with giving mercy to the man that abandoned her and her sisters years ago. What would it be like to think your father was dead, and then find out he was alive? It is very hard for the sisters to forgive him and their anger comes out when he tries to make amends . One thing I learned reading the story was how much pride plays with our emotions. We don’t want to forgive someone because they hurt us. We want them to feel the same pain but all we are doing is allowing that person to control us. How can you move forward if you still carry bitterness from the past? I thought the authors handled a delicate subject with honesty and grace. It is sad to think that during this time period women were treated differently. They were to stay at home and let the man dictate their lives. Whitney finds herself in a situation that only by the grace of God was she able to escape from. I want to give a big shout out to her dogs that protected her and stood beside her. The man who spreads rumors about her is rude and I wanted so bad for him to pay for what he did. “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.” That scripture came to mind as this man needed to be taught a lesson. I have to mention the man who has taken special interest in Madysen. He is pretty conniving and charms Madysen into thinking she should tour the world on her own singing without her sisters. I liked how tempted Madysen was and it showed how easy someone can fall for the tricks of the enemy. It may seem like a great idea, but is it what God’s plan for Madysen’s life is? The emotional roller coaster she goes through is hard at times. It illustrates the inner turmoil we face when we want to escape from our past. The most important part of the story for me was when several characters turn to God to help them make the right decision. They must soften their hearts and forgive God and those who have hurt them. Daniel is a wonderful character and his presence in the story has a big impact on Madysen and her future. I couldn’t wait to see if she would leave her family and chase after fame. Does she learn to forgive her father and show him grace? This is a must read for those who love historical fiction. I can’t wait to read Whitney’s story next in the series. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Great Read to Start the New Year
What a joy to visit Nome Alaska again and read Madysen story. The Powell sisters are a force to be reckoned with as their faith stands strong in times of adversity. I love that their farming abilities and what it takes to survive is included and found it interesting that some cheese is made from sheep milk. Daniel is a great addition to the story and the undercurrent between him and Madysen with laughs along the way is a great asset to the storyline. I enjoy the family dynamics and how extending mercy and forgiveness is paramount for healing. You can’t go wrong when you combine the powerhouse of these two authors. I look forward to Whitney and her story after an attack that has shaken her. What a great way to start your New Year curled up with a blanket, a hot drink, and the Powell sisters. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
