Book Review: Mercy Come Morning

Mercy Come Morning is written by Lisa Tawn Bergren.   I have read a few of her non-fiction works and her children's books.   I really liked Mercy Come Morning.   It is well written and interesting.   The characters are deep and real.   I read the book in two days because I had a hard time putting it down.  It is a sweet story of forgiveness and love.   The book centers around Krista Mueller and her mother, Charlotte.   Charlotte is afflicted with Alzheimer's and dying of congestive heart failure.  Krista is called home by a close friend to spend a few final days with her Mother .  I learned more about Alzheimer's from the book.   The book was well researched and did not take literary licence when it came to dealing with the facts of Alzheimer's.   In short, as Krista deals with her past, she is able to heal and look to the future. 

I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who would like to read a great story of forgiveness, grace, and redemption.  I would categorize this author as one who consistently writes good books.
