Faithful Heart is book two in the Angel of Mercy Series written by Al Lacy. Book one is Legacy. This is the story of Breanna Baylor as she travels west as part of a wagon train to see her sister, Dottie, in California. Because this is a Christian book, God and salvation play a large role in Breanna and Dottie's lives. Breanna is a nurse and is called along the way to heal a number of different people.

The second book in the Angel of Mercy series, this picks up immediately where A Promise for Breanna leaves off. Breanna is still traveling with the wagon train enroute to San Francisco. The story alternates chapters between Breanna's story and her sister Dottie's story. Dottie's husband Jerrod suffers debilitating episodes of post-traumatic stress syndrome stemming from his Civil War experiences. Because of this, Dottie and her children are frequent victims of abuse. Dottie and Jerrod's story is...more
This is the second book in Al Lacy's ten-book Angel Of Mercy series. Set in the 1870s, the story travels between two main characters--Breanna Baylor and her sister Dottie Harper. Breanna spends most of the story on the way to see her sister in California, serving as a nurse (she has professional training in this job) for the wagon train she is traveling with. Dottie's story takes place in California and focuses on her husband Jerrod's deteriorating mental health and how his escalating violence h...more

This was a good story. There were times that it was predictable but I think that every story has those points. I liked Breanna very much. She was very independent and strong willed. The things that Jerrod was dealing with were very interesting. I liked how Lacy put us into his head to show us the two sides of Jerrod.

Book 2 continues the interesting story of Breanna and John Stranger. Good Christian historical fiction
Despite innacuracies in some of the terminology I liked the storyline itself. I didn't really like the ending but there are still 8 more books in this series to continue the story!
Didn't learn from reading the first one. Should not have bothered!

I did not like this one. There was no visualization and the conversations were drab. As I have heard other people say, it is true there were many historical inaccuracies. Usually I can get past that in a book, yet in this one there was nothing to take up the slack. Some one else might love this book, but it was no my cup of tea.
