Mercy might only have one arm, but she fought for her position on the school board. When her childhood tormentor shows up trying to get a teaching position, she has to decide whether or not to reveal who he is. She also works at the orphanage with her brother and sister-in-law, but she wonders if they're the right people for the job.
Aaron may be going by a different name, but Mercy sees right through him. He's been trying to make amends for being a heartless bully, and Mercy was one of the people he was the most horrid to. She agrees to keep his identity secret for now, but he still wants to earn her forgiveness.
There's a particularly trying young man at the orphanage, and though both of them try to get through to him, it's rough going. Mercy and Aaron work together to earn his trust, but they don't make much headway. There's more going on than meets the eye and finding out what's really going on will be dangerous.
While there's mention of the characters from the previous books, you can read these alone or out of order and not be lostl. I liked the characters and enjoyed the book. Forgiving a bully isn't easy, but I enjoyed reading Mercy's journey. Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
