Legacy of Mercy by Lynn Austin

Legacy of Mercy ( Book #2) by [Austin, Lynn]

Here is the book summary:
Having returned to Chicago, young socialite Anna Nicholson can't seem to focus on her upcoming marriage. The new information she's learned about her birth mother continues to pull at her, and she hires Pinkerton detectives to help her find the truth. But as she meets people who once knew her mother and hears stories about the past, Anna soon discovers that some secrets are better left hidden.

At the same time, unflattering stories about Anna are leaked by someone who would love to see her disgraced and her engagement broken. And as Anna tries to share her faith with her society friends, she understands that her choice to seek God's purpose for her life isn't as simple as she had hoped.

When things are at their darkest, Anna knows she can turn to her grandmother, Geesje de Jonge, back in Holland, Michigan. Geesje's been helping new Dutch immigrants, including a teen with a haunted past, adjust to America. She only hopes that her wisdom can help all these young people through the turmoil they face.

And now, my review.
Legacy of Mercy by Lynn Austin is the second book in this series by her and I found that it was an emotionally, beautiful book.  I don’t think you can ever go wrong picking up a book by this author.  In her penning of a masterpiece, she fills the pages with a story weaved with the Word of God, with people with relationships with God, living out what is on the pages of Scripture.  It’s not just fiction where God is mentioned a few times, but it’s fiction where God is interwoven throughout.  I feel that this type of writing inspires me greatly.  Grace, forgiveness, and love were so deep in this one.  No matter who you are, the church attender or the pastor, you need to proceed in life with grace, forgiveness, and love.  This can only come through the power of the Holy Spirit in us.  May we allow the Holy Spirit to be seen in us by our brothers and sisters, spurring them on to grace, forgiveness, and love as well.  Read this one and be inspired by the themes of hope for the future, letting go of the things we can’t take with us, and forgiving those that hurt us.  Warning: Once started, you might be not able to put it down.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
