THE ROAD TO MERCY
is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Harris but it won’t be the last. I don’t see
that this is Ms. Harris’ debut novel so I will be looking up her backlist. All
I can say is WOW! Ms. Harris drew me into the character’s lives, making me car
for that nameless baby who grew up to be someone special; a hurting married
woman who has a medical illness and learns she’s pregnant; and a singer
songwriter who has the weight of the world on his shoulders and is trying to do
it on his own power instead of trusting in the God he sings about.
I literally could
NOT put this book down. I started it when I took the girls to the pool right
after lunch and then, instead of doing my own work I read until the book was
finished. THE ROAD TO MERCY is an awesome book that deals with issues such as
unplanned pregnancy, abortion, agnostic Jews, and ultimately, God’s mercy.
Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. Don’t miss THE ROAD
TO MERCY. A must read. 5 stars. $14.99. 320 pages.
