She Knew Her New Life Would Not
Be Easy, But Nothing Could Prepare Her For What Waits Ahead
Having returned to Chicago, young socialite Anna Nicholson can't seem to focus on her upcoming marriage. The new information she's learned about her birth mother continues to pull at her, and she hires Pinkerton detectives to help her discover the whole truth.
But as she meets people who once knew her mother and hears stories about the past, Anna soon discovers that some secrets are better left hidden. With pressure mounting to keep the past quiet, she discovers daily that her choice to seek God's purpose for her life isn't as simple as she had hoped. When things are at their darkest, Anna knows she can turn to her grandmother, Geesje de Jonge, back in Holland, Michigan. Geesje's been helping new Dutch immigrants--including a teen with a troubled history--adjust to America. She only hopes that her wisdom can help all these young people through the turmoil they face. |

Praise for the Book
"Varying points of view, well-placed clues, and an interesting subplot about Anna's grandmother welcoming Dutch
immigrants to Michigan keeps the story interesting. Austin skillfully embeds her strong spiritual message into the actions
of her characters, creating a wonderful historical tale that is naturally inspirational."--Publishers Weekly starred review

My Review
Can their faith sustain them?
So, I must make a confession....Despite having heard many great things about her for quite a few years I had not read a Lynn Austin book until I picked up Legacy Of Mercy. Yes, it is a sequel so it probably is an odd choice to start with but I enjoyed myself anyway.
I have to admit that much of the time I just wanted to shake some sense into Anna, and yet, her heart for the hurting and her love for her adoptive parents was wonderful. It was actually Oma Geesje, I have no idea how to pronounce it but that's OK, who won my heart. She is the grandmother that everyone would love to have, a grace-filled woman of faith who has been knocked around by life but has managed to hang onto that faith even when things seemed bleakest.
Legacy Of Mercy was a sweet historical romance, a story of loss and love, finding one's place and purpose, and most importantly a story of forgiveness and faith. The theme of hanging onto God's love through the dark times, when things just don't make sense, is a good reminder for us all.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Legacy Of Mercy by Lynn Austin a 4 Bark rating.
