A courageous young woman comes of age in the midst of an historical tragedy, from the author of Dark Water Rising.
Mercy Kaplan doesn't want to be like her mother, saddled with crying kids and failing crops for the rest of her life. Mercy longs to be on her own―until her wish comes true in the worst possible way. It is 1918 and a deadly flu epidemic ravages the country, leaving her utterly alone and penniless.
Mercy soon finds a job with Mrs. Wilder. But there's something unsettling about the woman, whose brother died under mysterious circumstances. And then there's Daniel, who could sweep a girl off her feet if she isn't careful.
“The history―of the epidemic and of early feminism―creates a dramatic story, and Mercy’s personal struggle for independence is universal.” ―Booklist
“Mercy tells her story in a gentle, cadenced voice filled with youthful hope, simple wisdom and gritty endurance. Perfect similes capture the flavor of Mercy's bittersweet life during the epidemic of 1918.” ―Kirkus Reviews

The Goodbye Season (Audible Audio Edition) Marian Hale Georgette Perna Listening Library Books Reviews
I loved this book. I fell in love with all the characters and the setting. It was a beautiful story set in one of the most difficult times in U.S. history. That being said, the reason I didn’t give it five stars was that I wanted just a tiny bit more from the ending! Otherwise a wonderful read!
It is such a sad, sweet, mysterious, absolutely awesome book. I could read it over and over and over again. (And I Have ) )
I really enjoy Historical fiction and this was a very good book. This young lady faced so much loss and showed how to live the her live in spite of the many losses.
Mercy Kaplan is a Texas sharecropper's daughter. She doesn't want to be like her mom, with tons of kid and failing crops for the rest of her life. Mercy longs to be on her own. It is 1918 and the Spanish flu is ripping around the world. After a while she is alone and poor.
Mercy finds a job with Cora Wilder, caring for the widow's two small children. There is something unsettling about Cora. There is also Daniel, Mrs. Wilder's nearly grown stepson. He is just the type of guy that could sweep her right off her feet.
I found this book to be really cute, but with a hint of mystery in the plot. Mercy was a sweet character and was really kind of loving. Daniel was swoon worthy, but he was grumpy at times. The characters were all unique and amazing. I loved the plot of The Goodbye Season. It was dramatic and sad. It was fairly original for a historical novel and had an original take on things. Hale was a great writer and told a great story of love, loss, and murder. I suggest that you check out this book, if you love historical fiction.
As advertised in very good condition
I love this author's stories. Wonderful for all ages. I have read all three she has written. Highly recommend.
