Description:

New York, 2016


Natalie Abbott offers answers for hurting listeners on her popular radio program. But she struggles to connect with her teenagers, with her daughter in an unhealthy relationship and her son withdrawn and isolated. When one member of the family commits an unspeakable act, Natalie is forced to uncover who she truly is under the facade of her radio persona.

New York, 1776

Mercy Howard is shocked when her fiancé, Nathan Hale, is arrested and hanged as a spy. When she’s asked to join General Washington’s spy ring in Manhattan, she sees an opportunity to avenge Nathan’s death. But keeping her true loyalties hidden grows increasingly harder as the charming Major John Andre of the King’s Army becomes more to her than a target for intel.

Mercy’s journals comfort Natalie through the centuries as both women struggle with their own secrets and shame, wondering how deep God’s mercy extends.

Book Takeaway:

No matter what we try to conceal, even from ourselves, there is nothing God can't penetrate or redeem.
