Book: The Shape of Mercy
Susan Meissner gives us a beautiful portrait of a young woman who, through her interactions with two other women, one who has been dead for 300 years, and the other in her twilight years, discovers her own personality and the true values she holds dear. Her world is shaken when she delves into the diary of Mercy Hayworth, a young woman her own age, condemned three centuries earlier during the Salem witch trials, even though she proclaimed her innocence.
A fascinating glimpse into an inglorious period in the history of the American colonies, a story of love, sacrifice, regret, and ultimately peace.
