Arms of Mercy by Ruth Reid

He lost her once to a rash decision. He will not lose her again.

On the eve of a new year, Catherine Glick is expecting Zach, her bu of five years, to propose. Instead, the unexpected arrival of an old boyfriend, Elijah, causes her life to spiral out of control. When a rash decision damages her relationship with Zach, Catherine leaves for Florida to work in her cousin’s bakery—anything to be away from the source of her shame.

Elijah Graber knows that he hurt Catherine when he left their Amish district six years ago. He’s returned to explain his actions, even if it means going with her to Florida. Perhaps the two-day bus trip will provide enough time to make his case and win her back.

Just when Elijah is starting to tear down the walls around Catherine, the bus skids on an icy road. In the mayhem and tragedy that follow, Catherine disappears. Elijah’s friends encourage him to prepare for the worst. But Elijah holds on to his hope in God and will not give up his search for Catherine. With supernatural nudging from the most unexpected places, Elijah sets out to find the love he once lost—no matter the cost.

My Review

Arms  of Mercy was  wonderful. This is book 2 in the Amish Mercies series. Abiding Mercy was book 1. Great series,  I found it to be a great mystery as well as Amish romance.  Characters are well written. Catherine is tired of not being a wife. Ready to settle down so she takes matters into her own hands. Something that is not done in the Amish community. But it doesn't go well at all. a old beau is back in town. How could he come back after what he did to her? Can he explain it  to her in what little time they have ? Then there is a accident. Where is Catherine?  You will want to read this it is a page  turner. Loved it.
