Mercy Come Morning Book Review



Krista Mueller has her life on track and a successful career. On the outside it looks like she has everything going for her, but on the inside, she has a lot to fix. Lisa Tawn Bergren has written a touching novel about life, love, family, alzheimers and forgivness.

Krista's mother has very advanced Alzheimers and lives hundreds of miles away in a state of the art home that was built by someone that Krista has tried and failed at forgetting...Dane. They were highschool sweethearts and never were able to make it work. They both still have strong feelings for each other but can never seem to make it work.

When Krista gets a call saying the end is near for her mother, she reluctantly decides to go and be with her. Although her mother can not talk, there are many things that Krista learns from her mother in her final days.

Will Krista finally find the peace she is looking for?? I suggest you read this great novel and find out. Just a side note, I suggest reading this with a box of tissues. It is a very touching story, and makes you look at your relationships in your life and what you might be able to change to make it better.
