Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

I was first introduced the talented Tiffany Baker in her book The Gilly Salt Sisters. Her latest book is Mercy Snow. The plot takes place in a small town in Titan Falls, home of the Titan Paper Mill. The paper mill was owned by the McAllister family. The Snows had just moved into the area. They lived in an old RV on land they inherited from their father. The Snows lived a primitive life out of necessity; often they did not have enough food to eat. Zeke had been in trouble a lot. When Zeke’s truck was found off the road close to a fatal bus wreck, the townspeople suspected he was responsible. Zeke was hiding while Mercy tried to provide for and take care of her little sister Hannah.

Mercy Snow is a fascinating read. Mercy Snow is a strong character undertaking a near impossible task. Hannah was lovable and naive. The townspeople clearly demonstrated the lack of tolerance for those different from them and considered outsiders. I immensely enjoyed this tale. I was shocked at part of the ending, but not everyone has a happy ending. The author compares a river spoiled by pollution from the local paper mill to the polluted means of the townspeople. They had the perfect opportunity to reach out to the Snows in love, but instead preferred to further sully their name and do physical harm to them. This book has 328 pages and the audio format is 11 hours and 23 minutes. Christine Lakin lends her voice to this exciting tale.
