About this audiobook
Will pursuing their deepest desires blind them to the dangers that surround them?
Madysen Powell has always been of a generous and forgiving nature. But when her father, long believed dead, appears in Nome, Alaska, the only feelings she can muster are bitterness and anger. Though her sisters have a similar struggle, Madysen finds herself falling out of rhythm with them in other ways. She is restless and dreams of performing her music around the world. The arrival of a traveling show could prove just the chance she needs, and the manager promises more than she ever imagined.
Daniel Beaufort arrives in Nome searching for his own answers after the gold rush leaves him with only empty pockets. Still angry about the death of his loved ones, he longs to start fresh but doesn’t have high hopes until he ends up helping at the Powell dairy making cheese—where he is immediately drawn to the beautiful redhead with big dreams.
Caught up in their hopes for the future, the sisters and their farm become vulnerable. Can they face their past hurts and present deceptions in time to save their dreams and mend the fractures in their family?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Is it possible to forgive a father that you had believed dead, but who had apparently left you, your sisters, and your mother years ago because he loved alcohol more? How do you overcome the grief of losing a mother who loved music and encouraged you to share your God-given musical talents with others? If you're one of the three Powell sisters, you depend on each other as you struggle with these emotions. Endless Mercy is a lovely story that shows the wonderful bond between Whitney, Havyn, and Madysen Powell and the strong Christian upbringing that they have been given. It also shows the struggle that the youngest sister Madysen faces as she contemplates leaving Nome, Alaska, for a musical career elsewhere. Is it God's will for her to leave her grandfather and sisters, not to mention a young man who offers her strength and comfort? Would she really be comfortable performing in a traveling show?Authors Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse have written a touching historical novel that focuses on the deep love between siblings. Endless Mercy realistically shows their grief for their mother and their bitterness for their father but this book is never depressing. It is, instead, a story of hope, forgiveness, and the marvelous gift of mercy. If you're looking for a heartwarming Christian romance that gives you all of the feels, you will want to read Endless Mercy!I received a copy of this book from the authors via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Endless Mercy by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse has Madysen Powell feeling angry towards her father. All these years the three girls thought he was dead. Now he shows up looking to reconnect with them and he is asking for forgiveness. Madysen loves her sheep and is looking forward to the expansion of the cheese business. However, Madysen dreams of singing in concert halls around the world. When a man shows up in town who can offer her this opportunity will Madysen leave Nome or will she pick the man a little closer to home? I thought Endless Mercy was a well-written novel with developed characters. While the story focuses on Madysen, we get to catch up with the other two sisters. Havyn is happily married while Whitney is busy training her sled dogs. The grandfather is recovering, and the girls’ father has arrived in town. Judas Reynolds has not given up on finding leverage on the Powell family. I thought the authors’ captured the time period and the location of Nome, Alaska. I enjoyed the descriptions of the town, the sisters’ performances, the farm, and the process of making cheese. I liked seeing Madysen grow as an individual. Madysen must decide whether to pursue her singing ambitions or the path the Lord has set for her. Mercy, grace, and forgiveness are the main themes in Endless Mercy. I like how faith and God are incorporated into the story. I thought Endless Mercy was a well-balanced novel. Endless Mercy is the 2nd book in The Treasures of Nome series. Endless Mercy can be read as a standalone, however, I recommend reading both books (in order) in this engaging historical series. I am looking forward to reading the Whitney’s story in the final installment in The Treasures of Nome series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This has been a wonderful journey about forgiveness, mercy, unconditional love and finding a renewed relationship with Jesus. I loved getting to know the three sisters better in this book. Their voices are like angels as they perform and bring enjoyment to all that listen. I loved the description of Madysen’s beautiful hair. It was easy to picture it cascading down her back as the light brought out the color of autumn leaves.This story focuses on Madysen and how she struggles with giving mercy to the man that abandoned her and her sisters years ago. What would it be like to think your father was dead, and then find out he was alive? It is very hard for the sisters to forgive him and their anger comes out when he tries to make amends . One thing I learned reading the story was how much pride plays with our emotions. We don’t want to forgive someone because they hurt us. We want them to feel the same pain but all we are doing is allowing that person to control us. How can you move forward if you still carry bitterness from the past? I thought the authors handled a delicate subject with honesty and grace. It is sad to think that during this time period women were treated differently. They were to stay at home and let the man dictate their lives. Whitney finds herself in a situation that only by the grace of God was she able to escape from. I want to give a big shout out to her dogs that protected her and stood beside her. The man who spreads rumors about her is rude and I wanted so bad for him to pay for what he did. “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.” That scripture came to mind as this man needed to be taught a lesson. I have to mention the man who has taken special interest in Madysen. He is pretty conniving and charms Madysen into thinking she should tour the world on her own singing without her sisters. I liked how tempted Madysen was and it showed how easy someone can fall for the tricks of the enemy. It may seem like a great idea, but is it what God’s plan for Madysen’s life is? The emotional roller coaster she goes through is hard at times. It illustrates the inner turmoil we face when we want to escape from our past. The most important part of the story for me was when several characters turn to God to help them make the right decision. They must soften their hearts and forgive God and those who have hurt them. Daniel is a wonderful character and his presence in the story has a big impact on Madysen and her future. I couldn’t wait to see if she would leave her family and chase after fame. Does she learn to forgive her father and show him grace? This is a must read for those who love historical fiction. I can’t wait to read Whitney’s story next in the series. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: Endless Mercy (The Treasures of Nome #2)Author: Tracie Peterson & Kimberley WoodhousePages: 352Year: 2021Publisher: Bethany HouseMy rating: 5 out of 5 starsReaders are introduced to a trio of young ladies who live in Nome, Alaska. They farm and use their musical talent to bless others. The ladies’ names are Havyn, Madysen and Whitney Powell who together make life interesting and inviting. In book one of the series, Hidden Forever, Havyn is the lead character. Her story gives insight into her heart and life as well as where her life may be leading onto a new path.Now, in this second story of the series, Madysen, the youngest of the sisters, is the focus. All three are enduring a season of grief since their mother’s passing from whooping cough a few months prior. On top of this, they are having to face their past with their father whom they thought dead. As if that isn’t enough, the character of Judas Reynolds is once again trying to hide that the girls’ grandfather paid off his debt to Judas after suffering a stroke just when Judas thought he had the family indebted to him.Madysen wants to leave Alaska, travel around playing her cello and singing for crowds as a way to honor their mother’s memory. But what about the sheep she loving cares for, her sisters and a friendship with Daniel that might lead to a future filled with romance? Will Judas Reynolds finally get his hands on the family farm or even Whitney Powell as a wife?The novel explores many themes of faith, forgiveness, mercy, and how people live through hardship and tragedy. I enjoyed traveling to Alaska via the story and the descriptions of the land stirred my heart with desire to visit there some day. The authors do a superb job of crafting each of the sisters with a heart for God and each other, as well as seeing them with individual talents and desires. The book is filled with hope that comes bursting through when least expected and at the darkest of moments.I sincerely hope that audiences read both Forever Hidden and Endless Mercy before the third book is slated to be released in January of 2022.Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think that this one was even better than the first book in the series. I definitely think that you must read the first book to enjoy this one or you might not understand all of what is going on with the three sisters. It is going to be hard to wait to read the third book in the series. I loved Madysen and Daniel. I loved learning about Alaska and the raising of the sheep, sled dogs and making cheeses. Each of these characters are learning many things as they grow. I did not want to put this book down. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
