FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The American Civil War claimed and destroyed lives, stealing fathers and sons from those they loved. The horror caused many returning to cry out for death. They carried the festering scars of battle and were unable to overcome the torment of their souls.

Author Biography As a child Johnny Neil Smith often sat at his grandparents fireplace listening to stories of their parents struggles while pioneering south Mississippi in the eighteen hundreds. Now a retired educator with an ardent interest in early American history, Smith weaves the stories he heard as a child into all his novels. In "Beyond His Mercy," he tells the story of his great-great grandfather, Lott Williams, who located the children of his murdered son-in-law and deceased daughter who lived in Cass County, Texas, and who then brought his grandchildren to live with him in Mississippi. In all of Smiths writings, he captures the emotions behind the events that were passed down to him from his grandparents. His wife, Susan Cruce Smith, also a retired educator, takes his stories and brings them to life by adding spiritual meaning, literary style, and a womans perspective. They are also the authors of "Beyond the Storm," and Johnny Neil is the author of "Hillcountry Warriors" and "Unconquered," all from Sunstone Press.
