About the Book



Within the chapters, the reader will become entangled with the character's, Mercy, life by being launched into feelings of joy, sadness, and even anger, through a journey of experiences of a humble and challenging mountain life.



Book Synopsis



Born into a world beyond her understanding, Mercy is confused by her childhood experiences of abandonment, neglect, and abuse. She stubbornly questions the cultural expectations and gender inequality for women during the 1960s. Although she struggles with insecurities, she learns to bravely navigate her own destiny and persists in overcoming insurmountable odds. Despite her rigid upbringing, Mercy dreams of a life beyond her beloved Appalachian Mountains, as well as a life-long commitment to locate her birth mother.



Review Quotes




"It is always wonderful to work with other writers, especially other women who have looked deeply into their own souls. We find that we are not alone in the problems we face. And their words give us hope...as yours will give hope to many." -Helen S. Owens, Author of a historical novel, Stand and Face the Morning "An enjoyably, painfully, well-written story of a girl who had to grow up in the mountains of Southwest Virginia with antiquated adults governing over her. It is a real honest reflection of the ideologies of the fifties and sixties and the gender inequalities that existed during that era. The tone, dialect and mannerisms, in part, have endured with the people of the Appalachian Mountains into the twenty-first century." -J. Michael O'Connor, Author of Ghosts of my Mind, His Wars, His Honor: A Simple Teacher, and There is no Time Limit
