The Miracle of Mercy Land by River Jordan


The Miracle of Mercy Land is a story about Mercy, Doc Philips and Tommy Taylor. Mercy and Tommy grew up in Bittersweet Creek. Mercy left Bittersweet and went to work for Doc Phillips at the Banner Newspaper in Bay City.

As the reader progresses through the book, the early life of the Tommy and Mercy is revealed. We also find that Doc Philips played a part in Tommy leaving Bittersweet.  The miracle referred to in the title is a revelation Mercy receives about her life and about life in general.

If given the opportunity, would we go back in time and make different choices? Are we aware of how the choices we make affect not only our own life and future, but the lives and futures of people around us? A strange book that shows up on Doc’s desk causes Doc to look back on choices he made years ago and causes Mercy to evaluate choices she must make today.

An interesting book that I would recommend. River Jordan’s writing style made it difficult to put the book down. I kept wanting to find out what was going to happen next.  


I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
