New York, 2016.

This was the first book I have read by Heidi Chiavaroli! From one contemporary story to one set during the Revolutionary war, you are drawn in rather quickly and both stories surge with emotion. Mercy Howard finds out that her beloved is a spy, which opens them both up to suspicion. Should she participate in the Patriot's cause, or stay guarded? Natalie Abbott has a family that has been slowly creeping farther away from one another, but she projects a great facade as a Christian radio host, going by the name Skye. Both women are about to see their existence, families and loyalties change in the space of days.
Challenging, encouraging, heartbreaking, this novel asks us: Do we really know those around us? How do others' decisions affect our worldview? Do we love in spite of wrongs levied against us? How do you move forward after tragedy? Can there be peace in acceptance? How far would you go for someone you love?
Filled with historical research, as well as current tidbits, Heidi does a awesome job melding the two time periods, and eventually, the characters. I am still reeling a bit from finishing this book, as there are difficult topics to think on and process, but I am happy at the same time. God can make beauty from ashes. This book offers that hope!
* I received an advance copy from Tyndale in order to review this book. All opinions are my own. *
So thankful I had the opportunity to read and review! Now, on to read Heidi's other book, Freedom's Ring! ;)
