FREE EXCERPT FROM MERCY: by Anuri Mabel
📖 Excerpt from Mercy
Chapter 3 – “The Mirror”
"She stood in front of the mirror longer than usual that morning. Not to admire herself—she hadn’t done that in years—but to look for something. A spark. A reason. A sign that she was still in there, somewhere, beneath the tired eyes and the weight of what she didn’t say aloud. The truth was, she didn’t know how to forgive him. But worse—she didn’t know how to forgive herself."
"That’s when the whisper came—not from the room, but from within:
‘You can lay it down now.’”

🌟 Reader Testimonial
“Reading Mercy felt like having a conversation with someone who had lived through my pain. It didn’t sugarcoat anything—but somehow, it still left me feeling hopeful. This book helped me forgive myself for things I didn’t even know I was still carrying.”
