Mercy Land (yes, that is her name) is not your typical 1930's young woman. She leaves her family and her rural community all by herself, for bigger opportunities in Bay City, Alabama. In this new city, she acquires a job at the local newspaper and spends a happy seven years working for the publisher and editor, Doc Williams being is girl friday.
Doc comes into possession of a mysterious book of maps. These are not ordinary maps however: they map the life choices made and results recorded of every person in Bay City. What roads were taken, what ones were abandoned. Once Doc shares the book with Mercy, she is overwhelmed by the information and its purpose. We all know that the choices we make affect the lives we lead, but what if you can look back and see how your life would have been if you had made a different choice? Would you want to?
Doc wants to use the book to right a wrong, but Mercy wants to follow its predictions through. In The Miracle of Mercy Land, will this information be shared with the rest of the community?
