Summary: Another excellent tale from Dorothy Garlock!
Review: Another excellent Garlock book. Ms. Garlock is a master of including people from other stories and interweaving them through the lives she writes about, and this one was definitely no exception. Mercy and Daniel are charming characters, with many of the traits of Liberty and Farr - the couple that raised them, and were featured in a previous book of this trilogy. I was not ready for this story to end, and would also have liked to read about Farr and George, and Amy and Rain coming home. However, Ms. Garlock made it very clear they were in route. Nevertheless, I would have enjoyed the homecoming.

Mercy is not quite as strong as Liberty or Amy, from the previous books in this trilogy. She did seem pretty dependent on Daniel, however, she was going through quite a lot, and that seemed only natural. She held herself together very well, with her chin high and the same quick temper of Liberty Quill.

Their love story was so sweet and warm, and very enjoyable to read. With the involvement of the family rival, Hammond Perry, still bent on revenge after all these years... the story keeps moving at a fast pace. I found it hard to put down, like the others in this trilogy.

Summary: If you like frontier novels, you'll love this one!
Review: Dorothy's Garlock's Wabash trilogy is the best of the best. You'll fall in love with these characters. I feel like they are dear friends. I've read this book and the other two books of the trilogy over 20 times. Daniel and Mercy, Raine and Amy, Libery and Farr, it was wonderful to see what happened to my beloved characters.

Summary: Best in the trilogy
Review: Let me start by saying that this book is not what is described above in the story details. Amazon has crossed this with another book. This is Daniel and Mercy's story and the final book in the Wabash trilogy.

Daniel and Mercy have been inseparable for most of their life since being adopted by Liberty and Farr. Actually they were rescued/saved by Liberty/Farr. They have grown up as brother and sister through all of their life. They aren't as close in the past years as they are both starting their adult lives. But when suddenly strangers appear in town and insist that Mercy is actually their sister Hester things change quickly. Percy is back a a villain in this story and he is now in the slave trade, actually he is running a slave "breeding factory" and is evil as ever. He still hates anyone or anything attached to the Quills.

One of the biggest turmoil's in this story is that Mercy's brothers who basically have no manners to speak of want her to go back to Kentucky with the to see her dying mother. This makes her wonder who she really is..... Along the way she and Daniel realize that they both love each other but are afraid to tell the other. On goes the struggle.

A good romance story!

Summary: A good ending to a fabulous trilogy
Review: The only problem I had with this book is that my favorite characters of the Wabash trilogy, Rain and Amy, were only briefly mentioned. I wanted to see them enjoying a wedded bliss and meet their two boys. Otherwise, this book featured a great love story between Mercy and Daniel. At first, I thought that they would be a pale version of Amy and Rain or Libby and Farr, but they and their story was unique. Mercy's character was similar to Libby's and Daniel's to Rain's. Mercy's sharp tongue and short temper were a delight, but her neediness wore me out. Daniel was dependable and decent, a great combination, but he was a bit boring at times. The discovery of Mercy's origins was a good plot twist and I grew to like her family. Mercy's and Daniel's shot-gun wedding is extremely funny and I re-read it several times. Eleanor is more lovable here than in "Dream River" and Gavin is still wonderful. I was a little bit disappointed that Ms. Garlock briefly described Tennessee's and Mike's romance without giving it an end. Although Mike became weaker here than in "Dream River", I enjoyed what little there was about his and Tenny's romance and hoped that Ms. Garlock would spend as much time on them as she did on Eleanor and Gavin in "Dream River". This novel lacks a satisfying ending, which would be Farr returning with George and Amy and Rain making it to the family reunion.
