This story is about a woman and her granddaughter getting to know and love each other. ( )

This is the story of Rett and her grandma Love. I found it a bit sentimental and mushy but I like the author and the writing was good enough to keep me reading the book. ( )

Love Mercy probably marks the beginning of a new series for author Fowler, who also writes the popular Benni Harper books. At least, I hope it will for I enjoyed this book very much and would like to know more about the characters. The main characters are a woman named Love Mercy and her granddaughter, Rett. After having lost contact for years, Rett shows up on her grandmother's doorstep one day with a stolen banjo in hand. There are also problems to deal with stemming from a descent into dementia by Love's father-in-law. This series takes place in present time and Benni Harper and other characters from that series also appear here, which makes it rather interesting for readers who already know them. This book does have a strong Christian message, but I enjoyed that aspect of it. Readers who like the Benni Harper books will also enjoy Love Mercy. ( )
