After page 102 I could not but this book down, literally I carried it from room to room and ate with the book propped before me. Author River Jordan was not familiar to me. The main character, Mercy Land, and the community of Bittersweet in southern gulf waters of Alabama was unrealistic to me. My favorite character was Doc, the owner, publisher, and editor of Bay City's local newspaper the banner. He was faithful to the memory of his beloved wife Opal and constant companion to his dog Harriet. Doc Phillips was hardworking and ink surely ran through his veins. He could sniff out the truth while other were heading down the wrong trail. The night a mysterious book appeared on Doc's desk their lives would never be the same. His protection of Mercy and his will to correct the wrong he had done in his past made this novel a treasure. The battle of good and evil is taught without being preachy. So glad I didn't quit this book; it is worth sharing.
