Mercy never has a moment to herself. Shes been single-handedly keeping Birdsall &amp; Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest. After yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to A Friend. Much to his surprise an anonymous letter comes back in return and a tentative friendship is born. If only Hart knew hes been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most  Mercy.
