Enjoyable book

This is a sweet novella length book with action, faith and history all rolled in. The story takes place in Michigan at the time of the ending of the French and Indian War in the 1700's. It has some mystery as we contemplate where Mercy's father and good friend and scout, Shad, suddenly disappear and Mercy sets out to find them. She's a very brave women during some very trying and difficult times.

It was a fun and even educational read. I really enjoyed it! I enjoyed the narrator's voice, although I must say that most Audible books I have listened to were female voices so this was a surprise. His voice, was easy to listen to and I enjoyed his interpretation of the story.

I received an Audible copy of this book from the author. All thoughts are my own.

Very enjoyable!

I listened to the audiobook version and it captured my attention from the start. I had tried audiobooks before but had never been able to finish. This one turned me into a fan. The story was captivating and the characters were very likeable. I only wish the story had been longer!

Great book set just after the French and Indian wa

This is such a great book. Mercy and Shad have developed a special friendship through the years and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. I loved learning about the history following the French and Indian War. This is a period I know very little about and my interest was sparked to do a little research of my own. The audible version of this book was so easy to listen to and kept my attention. The narrator does a fantastic job.

Loved it

I loved this novella. Danger and love in the frontier, it captured my interest from the start

Shad and Mercy!

I thoroughly enjoyed Bill Anciaux's narration! He brought a new depth of feeling to the story.
This is a sweet, enjoyable novella, set in a time of turmoil. Mercy is a woman who has taken care of her father and their home for the last decade, "robbing her of the opportunity of beginning her life of her own."
A longtime friend of Mercy and her father, Shad has been widowed for more than a year. He is drawn to Mercy more and more. Could she possibly have feelings for him? What kind of life could he offer her?
I loved the history here. A little bit of everything for the Mackinac area around the time Pontiac's war.
The romance between Shad and Mercy is very sweet.
As always, Carrie Fancett Pagels weaves a wonderful Mackinac tale!
