**The Inspiring Conclusion to Tracie Peterson's Heart of the Frontier
Series
**
Mercy Flanagan survived the Whitman Massacre as a child, and now her
heart's cry is for peace between the native peoples and the white
settlers inhabiting Oregon Territory. Unfortunately, most of the
settlers would rather the tribes were removed from the land completely,
one way or the other, and tensions are rising. Mercy has grown tired of
Oregon City and feels that she has a larger purpose in life, so when she
learns that family friend Eletta Browning is pregnant, she travels south
to the Rogue River Valley to help.
At the Rogue River Mission, Mercy meets Eletta's brother-in-law, Adam,
who has suffered a broken engagement. Mercy finds him attractive, but
Adam seems determined to focus on ministering to the local tribes and
keeps Mercy at arm's length.
When tragedy strikes and tensions in the territory reach the boiling
point, Mercy is pushed to the limit of her strength. She and Adam must
rely on their firm faith in God in order to make it out alive.
