Remember MercyAuthor House, 23 août 2007 - 580 pages In the fall of 2010, the Turner kids ventured to follow Simmie Turner's trail through Alaska by sea, railroad, and highway. It was a great journey where the scenery remains unchanged since the days of the greatest generation who built the ALCAN highway. Simmie's story was added to the tales of adventure told along the goldrush trail. We hope everyone who reads the book can make the trip to Alaska. It is mythical country. Nothing like it anywhere else. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, the Sovereign Lord says. Coming of age through suffering in the Great Depression, a wild mountain boy meets a serious young widow. They start a new family only to be separated by World War II. Like a williwaw squall that sweeps the Aleutian islands, the war uproots young dreams, detours voyages, and hides enemy forces. Are Helens prayers a match for the call of the wild when Sim crosses paths with men who find adventure and fortune with international construction companies? Is psychology or theology a better explanatory frame for the question Robert Frost posed in The Road Not Taken? |
