About this ebook

Having returned to Chicago, young socialite Anna Nicholson can't seem to focus on her upcoming marriage. The new information she's learned about her birth mother continues to pull at her, and she hires Pinkerton detectives to help her find the truth. But as she meets people who once knew her mother and hears stories about the past, Anna soon discovers that some secrets are better left hidden.

At the same time, unflattering stories about Anna are leaked by someone who would love to see her disgraced and her engagement broken. And as Anna tries to share her faith with her society friends, she understands that her choice to seek God's purpose for her life isn't as simple as she had hoped.

When things are at their darkest, Anna knows she can turn to her grandmother, Geesje de Jonge, back in Holland, Michigan. Geesje's been helping new Dutch immigrants, including a teen with a haunted past, adjust to America. She only hopes that her wisdom can help all these young people through the turmoil they face.

Ratings and reviews

This is book two in the Waves of Mercy series, it is a continuation of Anna's story from book one. So I would recommend reading book one first. Both books are not your typical historical romance novel. they are full of so much more. There are actually a few different stories going on at the same time, however the author does an amazing job at pulling them all together. You are not wondering whom is speaking, even though some chapters are from one characters perspective while another is from another perspective. You know up front whom is doing the speaking and thinking. There are many different characters in this novel that carry many different personalities, history, struggles and heartache. You will learn a lot from more than one character. How people handle the same circumstances in many different ways and how God is always faithful even when we doubt him. This novel is full of forgiveness, finding our past, friendship, loyalty, romance and so much more. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Lynn Austin has done it again. I've fallen in love with her characters as I usually do and am sad to say good bye to new "friends."
