Traces of Mercy by Cindy Kelley, Jr. Michael Landon
4.0
I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
We first see Mercy as a soldier in the Confederate army fighting for the South. The readers are not privy to this information. After an accident and sparing the life of an Union soldier, she loses her memory, and is taken into the the care of nuns, while simultaneously curving a life for herself.
Firstly, this book is categorized as religious, but I don't find it overly so. There are Christian undertones, but it's to be expected in post-civil war America.
I found this book to be an engaging and quick read. The plot was fast paced but not confusing or randomly so. We have the usual romance happening with gentleman callers and propriety and what is accepted and what is not.
I had a few issues with the ending. It was abrupt and I don't think it fit the stride of the story properly. Here we are moving along and then...wait what? I think I missed that part. I think I missed several parts.
Overall, Traces of Mercy is something to consider if you're looking for a quick and easy read.
