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”?

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’s sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.MoreLess
