In the Bible we have so many verses that deal with the importance of the truth and the fact that everything will come to light one day. In When Mercy Rains by Kim Vogel Sawyer a family is torn apart by lies. Suzanne Zimmerman has long been estranged from her mother and family after being sent of in the night to cover an out of wedlock pregnancy. Twenty years later Suzanne is summoned back home and the tension created by lies and bitterness have only grown stronger. The story is told from four different points of view Suzanne Zimmerman, her daughter Alexa, her mother Abigail, and Paul the boy who fathered her child. All four of them learn the value of the truth and the importance of grace and mercy as they seek to untangle the web of lies. This story gave me much food for thought and the importance of truth and transparency in my own life.
Have a good read,
Nina
