I really enjoyed this title, it was heart warming. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it Down

I highly recommend this book.

One of my favourite genres and Vogel Sawyer doesn’t disappoint! Teen pregnancy mixed with Mennonite main characters, this was such an interesting read

I was unable to download this book, so could not do a review. Problem was reported to the publisher.

Very complelling story. I loved how the family dynamics changed as hearts were opened and learned to forgive.
Suzanne was forced to leave her home at 15 when she became pregnant. Her mother and father never told th family why she left. Suzanne did not return as expected but started a new life for herslf and daughter. When her mother is seriously injured and needs hands on care, Suzanne returns to help and face the whispers of the past.
An excellent story of faith, trust, lies, and love! I can not wait to read the second book.

Suzanne was made to leave her Mennonite home when she did the unthinkable and became pregnant with her boyfriend. Her mother sent her to Indiana to have the baby, give it for adoption to her married cousin and then return. Suzanne decided to stay in Indiana. At the urging of her brothers and sisters, Suzanne returns with her nineteen year old daughter in tow to care for her mother who is now handicap. What Suzanne did not expect was the love of her life from her childhood to be working at her mother's house. Paul has no clue that she was pregnant when she went away all those years ago. But things are not as they seem. Will Suzanne keep her secret or will everything come out in the open when she least expects it?

I read the third book in this trilogy a couple of years ago and was excited to read the first to see how it all began. Book One was just as wonderful as the third one. I did not want to put it down. It felt very realistic as I was reading.

The angst between Suzanne and her mom is so true of many mothers and daughters that faced the situation they found themselves experiencing. My heart was hurting for them. I especially felt for Suzanne's mom dealing with becoming handicap late in life as my mom has had to face something very similar. Her loss of freedom to do what she wants when she wants has been a very hard adjustment.

Kim Vogel Sawyer writes with grit and beauty in When Mercy Sings. You will find yourself looking deep into yourself as you read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah through NetGalley. Any and all opinions expressed in the above review are entirely my own.

I loved this book, I was unable to get it from Net Galley when requested, I got it from my local library, it is a continuation, you really have to read the entire series each book is as good as the other. Some books kind of go downhill after the first but each in this series is unputdownable.

Thanks for letting me review it! My students like this author.
