To one, hope is a gift. To the other, a lie. To both, it's what binds them.
Mercy Cunningham runs a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Atlanta. Dismissive of her noble work among the destitute, her father continually pesters her to work for his Fortune-500 corporation. A bedraggled stranger visits the soup kitchen and catches Mercy’s attention. Not because of the piercing gaze almost hidden behind his facial hair, but because something seems off about him.
Noah Allen is not the pastor, or even the man, he once was. The single-blow death of his wife and child made sure of that, as did a raging opioid addiction. Blaming himself for their deaths, he wanders the country without a destination and without a desire to find one.
Then, Mercy finds him.
My Thoughts
This was another great story from author Tanya Eavenson. I always look forward to new reads from her with great anticipation and this one did not disappoint.
The characters were endearing and realistic. Mercy was instantly likable. She's got a heart of gold who, despite objections from her father, is following the Lord's calling by working at a soup kitchen and helping homeless people get back on their feet again. Noah's faced so many hardships and been through so much. The pain was almost unbearable. I was really rooting for him.
The Heart of Mercy was a moving story full of hope, mercy, second chances, and finding peace in the Lord's everlasting love.
I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
Five Stars
