Book
Mercy / Patricia Ward.
Mercy was named for her mother’s hopes. Mercy, in the hope that the Sorrowing—the curse that Mercy and her family had lived with for generations—might take pity on them. But Mercy’s name never did her any good, and it certainly didn’t save her mother. The Sorrowing ensures that Mercy, her family, and the core families in Arbor Falls aren’t able to grow, dream, or prosper. It makes sure they stay exactly as they are—mired in the mud. Mercy has learned to live with the truth: the only way to escape the Sorrowing is to accept it. Until the Bowens move back to town. The Bowens are a cursed family, too, and they should know better than to test the Sorrowing. Instead, their ignorance sets off a wave of fury that promises to destroy everything. Now, Mercy will have to unearth the horrors that unfolded that terrible night the Sorrowing was born—to face the despicable secrets of her town and break the curse before it breaks everything she has left.
