For fans of Ann Patchett and Louise Erdrich, a contemporary women's fiction novel set in northern Wisconsin about one grief-stricken family's journey toward redemption and forgiveness in a rural town divided by the past.

After years away, Margaret Payne returns to her rural northern Wisconsin hometown on a work assignment, only to find it still haunted by the tragic accidental shooting of her younger brother, Bean. Amidst the lingering pain, Margaret uncovers plans for a development on Dell Landing, a hill home to generations of Indigenous people--including Mr. Kipp, the reclusive man responsible for Bean's death.

With her mother trapped in denial, her father consumed by anger, and a town bitterly divided, Margaret must confront both the past and the present, rising tensions. Facing Mr. Kipp will test everything she believes, but before it's over, Margaret will discover the freeing power of unconditional forgiveness--even for her brother's killer.

A poignant, redemptive tale, Mercy Town reminds us how forgiveness, even in the deepest sorrow, heals wounds, binds us as human beings, and remains truly unconditional.
