The Inspiring Conclusion to Tracie Peterson's Heart of the
Frontier Series
Mercy Flanagan survived the Whitman Massacre as a child, and now
her heart's cry is for peace between the native peoples and the
white settlers inhabiting Oregon Territory. Unfortunately, most of
the settlers would rather the tribes were removed from the land
completely, one way or the other, and tensions are rising. Mercy
has grown tired of Oregon City and feels that she has a larger
purpose in life, so when she learns that family friend Eletta
Browning is pregnant, she travels south to the Rogue River Valley
to help.
At the Rogue River Mission, Mercy meets Eletta's brother-in-law,
Adam, who has suffered a broken engagement. Mercy finds him
attractive, but Adam seems determined to focus on ministering to
the local tribes and keeps Mercy at arm's length.
When tragedy strikes and tensions in the territory reach the
boiling point, Mercy is pushed to the limit of her strength. She
and Adam must rely on their firm faith in God in order to make it
out alive.
