I wasn't sure what I would be getting when I first started "At God's Mercy", but I have to say that it ended up being an intensely captivating story that sucked me in and didn't let go until the very end. What I liked about this book was that it has strong, vivid imagery that paints the tale of two twin brothers and the journey they take to uncover their own heritage and the circumstances of their own birth. There is a definitive tone to the writing that lays everything bare and allows the reader to get swept up in the concepts of faith, humanity, family and the struggles to reconcile what your past with your present and future. The characters of Jeremiah and Isaiah, are strong with an authentic feel that makes you like them and care about their journey; they really propel this story along with a wonderful pace that explores that connections we all have both familial and faith-based.Overall, this was a well-written and utterly compelling novel that manages to sweep me up in an exciting tale that spanned from America to Poland and from WWII to present day. It was very entertaining and I would definitely recommend it to other readers who want a fast-paced, drama-rich novel to get lost in today.
