I have thoroughly enjoyed the Wildflower series and look forward to the next book. I was a bit disappointed in New Mercies as there were many grammatical errors, unlike previous books. There were several redundancies at times and far too many scriptures repeated. It appeared to need more editing. I love the story line and historical facts. I anxiously await the next book!

Ok
I'm going to agree with other reviews, that this book is different from the others.
Pros: It had a lot more Scripture than others. Also it has a good ending.
Cons: It was very slow. There was a lot of self talk and reflection. To me it was slow in several points.
All in all, I liked it. Agnes and her family get a new start. Possibly a love match for her later. Trisha and Elsa take care of her dying mom. Clive rescues a native girl. I'm waiting on the next one.

Learning to trust the lord
This has been an exceptional series and potentially the best Christian novels I’ve ever read. Leah Banicki is an exceptional author. If you’ve never been good at talking to God and learning to pray from the heart then this series will teach you as you read the many bible verses and prayers in each chapter. I wish there were a couple more books in the series.

Another winning book by Leah Banicki
I’ve read every book in this series twice. The characters are beautifully crafted and they become your best friends. I can’t wait for the next books!

Disappointed
I waited so long for this book and was disappointed! It moved way too slowly and had way to much detail!

And Sophia and Ted still arent married!!!!
Love how you write about the Lord!
Looking forward to book 12.

such a sad experience
My heart breaks for the Indian nation and how they were treated. Thankfully there are some who will stick up for what’s right according to God’s will and purpose.

very compelling
The author got mixed up. Sometimes she called Ryan a sergeant, and sometimes she called him a Lieutenant.
The people in the story had several very difficult things to go through, and they relied on the Lord to get them through it

If you have suffered loss of family and friends who have caused you emotional pain and in forgiveness you need to read this book. I can see myself in the life of Elsa and Trish

All things are possible
All of the bible verses fit the situation and the constant prayers reminded me to pray more often. May God continue to guide you in your writings.
