Her Healing Ways (2010)
“The same melancholy that had plagued her after the cholera epidemic was creeping over her, trying to imprison her again.
Mercy sat at the table in the snug log cabin. By the window’s faint, gloomy light, Indigo was washing the breakfast dishes. Lon had recovered, which was good. But the shadow remained over her heart. What am I to do? Why do I keep hearing Lon say, “You understand nothing”?
“I know you’re disheartened, Aunt Mercy,” Indigo said, drying her hands on a dish towel and glancing over... at Mercy.
Mercy smiled even as tears stung her eyes.
Indigo had taken a job as a waitress in one of the cafés in town to make extra money. Now she was leaving for work. Soon, Mercy was all alone in the cabin. Lifelong habit made her pick up her Bible.

In the dim, lonely cabin, she read aloud, hearing her father’s calm, measured voice in her mind.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’s sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.MoreLess
