Awesome book…. This book will have you on an emotional roller coaster; upset, angry, happy, and crying. There are many people in our society that faces the issues that Jackie dealt with in this book; loss of a spouse and a child. I’m happy that her mom never gave up on her, and kept calling on Jesus. He may not come when you want Him to, but He is an on time God….

Beautiful This story is real. We never realize the thoughts and struggles of an addict until you see it in black and white. It took me a minute to read this novel because of the busyness of my life but glad I dedicated tonight to finishing it. I felt like I was actually on the scene in this novel, very descriptive...kudos to the author

A serious page turner! This was a very good and inspirational story. The tales of temptations how the devil will temp you, lie to you and deceive you by any means necessary. Very thought provoking and will test your faith in God.

And Mercy Too... Excellent read for this genre as one would expect. As a professed Christian I am a compulsive reader for several genres.

Though I feel this author was well deserving of the 5 stars, I also feel that the editing needed some work. It certainly was not the worst that I have experienced by far, but there were just enough typos and grammatical errors to notice and made the ride a bit bumpy from time to time, which I feel is too bad, actually, because this author really wrote this book!! Bravo!!

By His Grace is a book about a family that is going through several different struggles. Mercy, being a typical teenager, was trying to impress her friends and it ended in tragedy. Jackie, her mom, had a hard time forgiving her. After losing everything they end up moving in with Leslie, Jackie's mom. Richie, Jackie's high school boyfriend, is still living in the area. He calls himself helping her through the pain but things spiral completely out of control. Thank God Leslie is a woman of faith.

This book took me through so many emotions but in the end everything worked out for the good. The ending literally had me in tears. As the saying goes God may not come when youbwant him but he is always on time! #VLSBOOKREVIEWS

Unpredictable! ...spoiler alert... This book had me struggling but it was a good book. Talk about faith! I don't condone domestic violence but when Jackie threw that hot water on her husband I thought she needed to be knocked the hell out and just when I was starting to feel sorry for him I was thought she should of threw some more hot water on him. I'm glad that Jackie made it through because the way this story was going I was sure all the characters were going to end up dead from Leslie swearin Unpredictable! ...spoiler alert...

What a moving & powerful read. Leslie was the glue that held this family together. Loved the praying & scripture throughout. At first I felt sad for Jackie's situation but then I thought her maltreatment of Mercy was extreme. Great storyline & characters & Im looking forward to reading more from K.

His Grace and Mercy I really enjoyed reading this book. It keep me interested from beginning to end. The mother drove me crazy but at the end of the day I know it was just a mother's love. I will say the epilogue left a lot to be desired. But this is a book a would recommend to others. I would also be willing to read more from this author. 4.5 His Grace and Mercy I really enjoyed reading this book. It keep me interested from beginning to end.

Review This was a touching story, but it also dealt with a serious issue. One thing is for certain, with God on our side we can overcome anything the devil tries to throw our way.
