The critically-acclaimed author of the "New York Times"
bestseller "A Land More Kind Than Home" returns with a resonant
novel of love and atonement, blood and vengeance, involving two
young sisters, a wayward father, and an enemy determined to see him
pay for his sins.
When their mother dies unexpectedly, twelve-year-old Easter and
her six-year-old sister Ruby are shuffled into the foster care
system in Gastonia, North Carolina, a town not far from the
Appalachian mountains. But just as they settle into their new life,
their errant father, Wade, an ex-minor league baseball player whom
they haven t seen in years, suddenly appears and wants to spend
more time with them. Unfortunately, Wade has signed away legal
rights to his daughters, and the only way he can get Easter and
Ruby back is to steal them away in the middle of the night.
Brady Weller, the girls court-appointed guardian, begins looking
for Wade, and he quickly turns up unsettling information linking
Wade to a recent armored car heist, one with a whopping $14.5
million missing. But Brady Weller isn t the only one hunting the
desperate father. Robert Pruitt, a shady and mercurial man nursing
a years-old vendetta, is also determined to find Wade and claim his
due.
Narrated by Easter, Weller, and Pruitt in alternating voices
that are at once captivating and heartbreaking, "This Dark Road to
Mercy" is a story about the emotional pull of family and the primal
desire to outrun a past that refuses to let go.
