On the eve of a new year, Catherine Glick is expecting her bu of five years to propose. Instead, the unexpected arrival of an old boyfriend, Elijah, sends her life spiraling out of control. When a rash decision damages her current relationship Catherine leaves for Florida to work in her cousin's bakery - anything to flee the source of her shame. Elijah Graber knows he hurt Catherine when he left their Amish district six years ago. HE's determined to explain his actions, even if it means following her to Florida. Perhaps their two day work bus trip together will provide enough time for him to make his case and win her back.
Just when Elijah is starting to tear down the walls Catherine has built, their busk skids on an icy road and amid the mayhem and tragedy that follow, Catherine disappears. Elijah's friends urge him to prepare for the worst, but Elijah holds on to his hope in God and refuses to give up his search for Catherine. With supernatural nudging from the most unexpected places, Elijah sets out to find the love he once lost - no matter the cost.
If you enjoy reading Amish Fiction you are probably already familiar with Ruth Reid. She is a very skilled author in bringing to life and insight of the daily life of the Amish community. Her books are always filled with deep faith, a touch of romance and well developed characters. You can always expect a few unexpected twists that keep you guessing as well.
Arms of Mercy was a very enjoyable read and the cover is absolutely beautiful! Highly recommended for Amish fiction lovers!
