River Jordan | WaterBrook Press
As a young single woman, Mercy Land moves from her rural community to nearby Bay City, Ala. She finds a job at the local newspaper and over the next seven years she becomes an invaluable assistant to the paper’s respected editor and publisher, Doc Phillips.
One morning, Mercy gets a frantic call from Doc; it’s the biggest news to hit their city. But Doc’s not ready to print a story about it yet. He has mysteriously come into possession of a supernatural book, which chronicles details from the lives of everyone in town—their pasts, their present lives and even their futures.
The duo is mesmerized by the mystery and magic of this volume, but each has their own idea of what do to with the information. Doc wants to right old wrongs; Mercy senses there is a purpose to fulfill. Whatever they decide to do will change their lives and the lives of those around them, forever.
River Jordan’s writing oozes Southern charm. She develops the plot at a pace that’s perfect for a story set in the South. The tempo allows readers to get to know the characters and become familiar with the setting, yet it isn’t stilted or weighed down with unnecessary descriptions or conversations. The Miracle of Mercy Land is an engaging, mysterious tale that will especially appeal to those who enjoy the character of a small town.
