Laura Ann, 

Yip that's what I thought which is why I grabbed it. It's going super fast
and so far not a bad proof read either. Meaning there's not much to clean up
here so far but I've barly gotten into it. Hopes this helps everyone and I
can't wait to get this one into the collection smiles! Have a great day!

I have just submitted The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner.
We understand what we want to understand.
Leaving a life of privilege to strike out on her own, Lauren Durough breaks
with convention and her family's expectations by choosing a state college
over Stanford and earning her own income over accepting her ample monthly
allowance. She takes a part-time job from 83-year-old librarian Abigail
Boyles, who asks Lauren to transcribe the journal entries of her ancestor
Mercy Hayworth, a victim of the Salem witch trials.  Almost immediately,
Lauren finds herself drawn to this girl who lived and died four centuries
ago. As the fervor around the witch accusations increases, Mercy becomes
trapped in the worldview of the day, unable to fight the overwhelming
influence of snap judgments and superstition, and Lauren realizes that the
secrets of Mercy's story extend beyond the pages of her diary, living on in
the mysterious, embittered Abigail.  The strength of her affinity with Mercy
forces Lauren to take a startling new look at her own life, including her
relationships with Abigail, her college roommate, and a young man named
Raul. But on the way to the truth, will Lauren find herself playing the
helpless defendant or the misguided judge? Can she break free from her own
perceptions and see who she really is?
Enjoy.
