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.
