"Abiding Mercy" by Ruth Reid is An Amish Mercies Novel. Ruth Reid has written a novel centering on Faith, an Amish girl in northern Michigan; Roslyn, a mother whose toddler has been kidnapped by the nanny and desperately searches for 15 years to find her daughter; and a red-haired angel that keeps popping up to help with God's work.
A common storyline in Amish Fiction is the "lost a baby, found a baby" saga. This novel falls into this category. Though that storyline has been done to death, Reid gives it a new twist. In this novel, the lost/found child doesn't want to leave the Amish to follow her 'blood' family. Faith is quiet content to stay with her found family and her beliefs and upbringing. She also tells of Faith and her sister Olivia as they scorn and rat each other out in true sisterly fashion. I really liked this book and stayed up most of the night reading it. I highly recommend it. I received this novel through www.booklookbloggers".
