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.
