  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

I like this author’s writing style. This book had me in tears. This book is not an easy read.Mercy went through a lot of heartbreaking circumstances but God in his mercy redeemed her story. 
Psalms 40:1-2 fits this story perfectly. 

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” (Psalms 40:1-2)
