title: A Patchwork Family
author: Hubbard, Charlotte
description: Meet Mercy Malloy. No matter what she does, God's love fills her life. So when two orphaned children appear on her doorstep, she hesitates only a moment before opening her heart and her home to them. Perhaps this is the Lord's way of sending her and Judd the babies they've prayed for. Out on the Kansas plains the years bring hardship and heartache--Indian attacks, a runaway daughter, an abandoned baby in a basket--but also precious new life and the unlooked for joy of a surprise love. Through it all, Mercy's faith holds her family together, creating a patchwork of strength and beauty.
