Review and Giveaway: Missing Mercy by Stephenia H McGee

Missing Mercy – Releasing October 1, 2019

Tagline: 
Mercy is missing, Faith is floundering Only truth can lead them to freedom.

Blurb:

The venture ahead could leave their friendship behind.

Made a safe-haven after the Civil War, Ironwood Plantation is a refuge of equality for former slaves. But twenty years and a new generation later, they have become an isolated community with little contact with the rest of the world.

Mercy Carpenter is everything the world thinks she shouldn’t be. Educated and adventurous, she longs to make a life for herself beyond the beautiful prison of Ironwood. When she secretly submits an article to the Boston Globe under a man’s name and receives an enthusiastic response and an offer for employment, she’s determined to take advantage of the opportunity. But she isn’t prepared for a startling world that won’t accept her color or her gender, and her ambitions soon land her in grave danger.

The privileged daughter of a plantation owner and an aspiring suffragette, Faith Harper is determined not to marry. Especially not her father’s opportunistic new business partner. She doesn’t want any man telling her what to do, least of all the annoyingly chivalrous Nolan Watson. But when Mercy goes missing, Faith will do anything to find her best friend, even if it means trusting a man she doesn’t understand. In a time where prejudices try to define them, Mercy and Faith must push the boundaries of their beliefs and trust in the God who holds the keys to freedom.

My Review: 

I have enjoyed the Ironwood Plantation Family Saga to date. The third book, Missing Mercy, does not disappoint. I loved Faith and Mercy’s story. These two best friends are brave and admirable women. Their faith and determination made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen to them next. I could not put the book down until I was completely finished in one sitting. I loved it!

Missing Mercy is getting a well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend this Christian Historical Fiction for readers who enjoy a beautifully written and clean read. I look forward to reading more by Stephenia H McGee in the future. 

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
