Mercy’s Child

A Christian Psychological Thriller

De: Roman Heath

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Some secrets were buried for mercy......Others will rise demanding justice.

When a cryptic message appears in a Sunday offering plate, veteran detective Nathan Reed is pulled into a cold case colder than the Pennsylvania snow. His search leads to the locked-down halls of St. Vincent’s Mercy Center—a former Catholic hospital now abandoned, but once the hiding place for sins disguised as salvation. Across the state, trauma therapist Sophia Marsh begins unraveling.

Plagued by flashbacks, burned hymns, and a faceless woman who visits her dreams, Sophia receives a torn Bible page and a decades-old church bulletin—clues that shatter everything she thought she knew about her past. Together, they uncover a buried conspiracy steeped in scripture and cloaked in silence:

• A secret euthanasia protocol disguised as mercy
• An underground Brotherhood operating in the name of God
• A missing twin who was never meant to survive

Mercy’s Child is a deeply emotional, fast-paced Christian psychological thriller that blends the slow-burn suspense of Sharp Objects with the soul-stirring power of Redeeming Love. This is a story about faith, memory, and the lies we inherit—and the God who refuses to let them stay buried.

💝 What You’ll Gain from Reading Mercy’s Child

✨ 1. You’ll finally feel seen in your silent struggles.

If you’ve ever carried a pain no one else could name—or questioned whether God still remembered you in it—this story will speak to that hidden part of you. Sophia’s journey isn’t just fictional. It mirrors the aching questions we all ask when memory, faith, and grief collide.

✝️ 2. You’ll rediscover the kind of faith that survives fire.

This novel doesn’t sugarcoat suffering—it wrestles with it. And if you’ve ever walked through a season where the silence of God felt louder than His voice, you’ll find yourself in these pages… and maybe even find hope again.

🧩 3. You’ll experience the healing that comes from finally knowing the truth.

Truth doesn’t always come gently—but when it does come, it sets captives free. Mercy’s Child will walk with you through the unraveling, and show you how remembering—however painful—can lead to mercy deeper than forgetting ever could.

👁️ 4. You’ll recognize the red flags you once ignored—and the redemption that followed.

Through the mystery of a lost child, a silenced nurse, and a forgotten sister, this story quietly teaches discernment. If you've ever wondered, How did I miss it?—this book offers both compassion and clarity.

🧠 5. You’ll connect deeply with intelligent, broken, and fiercely real characters.

Nathan Reed isn’t just a detective. He’s a man trying to make peace with his past. Sophia isn’t just a survivor. She’s a woman learning that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. You’ll walk with them—and you’ll grow with them.

💧 6. You’ll cry—but they’ll be tears that cleanse.

This isn’t a weepy drama. It’s a holy ache—the kind that breaks your heart open just wide enough for light to get in. Readers say they don’t just read this story… they feel it.

🪶 7. You’ll carry the truth that mercy is not weakness. It’s warfare.

By the end of this novel, you won’t just have read a mystery—you’ll have wrestled with what mercy really costs. And you’ll walk away braver, clearer, and maybe a little more whole.
