About this ebook
Hidden in the heart of the Home Valley, a secret danger takes root…
Quiet, cautious Ella Lantz has spent her entire life in the close-knit Amish community of the Home Valley. Tending her lavender fields, she finds calm and serenity in purple blooms, heavenly scents and a simple life. But the sudden arrival of a strange visitor to her parents' home heralds a host of new complications.
Alex Caldwell is unlike any man Ella has ever met—clearly, he's no "Pennsylvania cousin," whatever the elders may say. In fact, Alex is a Wall Street whistle-blower under witness protection…and he's brought a world of trouble to the Lantz doorstep. As Ella comes to trust—even love—a man so utterly worldly, she realizes her life has already changed forever.
When it becomes violently clear that even the Home Valley is no refuge, Ella and Alex are driven into the wider world to hide. And with such a high price placed on their silence, they may not survive to share their love.…
"Harper, a master of suspense, keeps readers guessing about crime and love until the very end." —Booklist, starred review, on Fall from Pride

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Finding Mercy by Karen Harper 4 STARSThis is the third book in A Home Valley Amish Novel. It is the second one that I have read. I was not to impressed with the little I knew of Ella from Returning to Grace.It is so easy to judge characters and real people with a little knowledge wrongly, like I did. I really grew to care more for Ella the more I got to know her and understand her better.This novel was full of action and caring about others, and honesty on one side. Bad guys,traiters and murders on other side. Who do you trust when someone tries to kill you many times.Alex Caldwell was making good money and then he found out his boss was selling secrets to China. He became a whistle blower, and agreed to testify. He did not want to go into the witness protection program so his lawyer hired a private security for him. When they tried to kill him he decided to go to the Feds.They decided to put him in with the Amish as a cousin coming to visit.Ella Lantz good friend Hannah was marring her brother Seth in a few days. So Ella was moving into Seth old home and going expand her business in the old house. While her new cousin Andrew was moved into her old room.Andrew was really liking the simple life with the Lantz family, especially Ella.Someone was stalking Ella footprints where all around her house and her' family house.Then she was in a hit and run accident. Then a threat on her door. After a failed kidnapped attempt Andrew, Ella and her grandmother run off and don't tell anyone in authority where they were going.I really liked the grandmother. How the Amish did take Andrew in and welcomed him. I liked how the three friends had problems and for awhile lost contact but even though they each made different choices they cared for each other still.I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from Netgalley.10/30/2012 PUB Harlequin Imprint HarlequinMIRA 336 pages
