Note: Goodness and Mercy was first published in 2013. This second edition includes only a new cover and some minor editorial changes. The death of sixteen-year-old Lucy's parents mires her life, but she can't stay stuck for long. Her younger siblings, Goody and Mercy, are being considered for adoption. She can't stand by and watch her family dissolve, for doing so would break a promise she made to her father. Lucy takes desperate action, whisking her brother and sister off toward a brighter future in Palisade, Colorado. Unfortunately, the past is determined to tug her back to where promises can't be kept, and the present is threatened by a sister who lives out her name, an aunt who seems determined to unseat her happiness, and a heart that betrays her. All the while, World War II rages on. Absent men strain the running of the family's peach orchard, Honey Sweet Ranch, and force alliances of the most intriguing and unlikely kind, including German POWs. Within these relationships, Lucy discovers an unfamiliar and healing faith. With her defining style, Patti Hill weaves a story of love and loss with one of America's darkest times as a backdrop. Hill's characters resonate, and her descriptions draw the reader into a drama that is perfectly paced and infused with a wondrous hope. Patti Hill is a Christy Award, ForeWard Magazine, and Colorado Book Award finalist, as well as a Lyra Grand Prize winner for fiction."...Goodness & Mercy is one of the most startlingly beautiful novels I've ever read...Poignant and real, this book touches a deep chord in the human experience." Traci DePree, author of the "Lake Emily" series
