The Mercy by Beverly Lewis

The Mercy by Beverly Lewis 






I was given a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for this review. 


The Mercy is the 3rd novel in  The Rose Trilogy, I had not read the first two so I was a little worried I may be lost or confused but Lewis did a great job of picking up and not leaving newbies behind . In "The Mercy" we follow two Amish sisters Hannah (Hen) and Rose and their struggles with love and faith. They each have to figure out if they can sacrifice their faith for love. Hen is in a marriage with and Englisher and it was on its way downhill till her husband is tempary blind due to an accident and she takes him in and cares for him with their young daughter. Could this accident be the light at the end of the tunnel or a start of a new chapter. Then there is Rose who is in love with the rebel Amish that has left town, will she settle for what she knows is right or follow her heart ? You'll have to pick up the book and dig in to find out. 


I enjoyed this book and cant wait to see what happens to next. As with most books in this genre it was a tad predictable but I still enjoyed it just the same
