In 1990, seventeen-year-old Marley West moves to the river valley town of Mercury, Pennsylvania. The first thing she sees when she arrives in town is three men standing on a rooftop. The three Joseph brothers become Marley’s whole world before she can blink. Soon, she is young wife to one, The One Who Got Away to another, and adopted mother to them all. As their own mother fades away and their roofing business crumbles under the weight of their unwieldy father’s inflated ego, Marley steps in to shepherd these unruly men. Years later, an eerie discovery in the church attic causes old wounds to resurface and suddenly the family’s survival hangs in the balance. With Marley as their light, the Joseph brothers must decide whether they can save the family they’ve always known―or whether together they can build something stronger in its place.

Thank you @netgalley, @burnsamyjo, and @celadonbooks for this ARC! I love a good family drama, and this book definitely delivered! The book starts off with a body being discovered in the attic of the town’s church, and then goes back in time to build up to who the body belongs to, and how it got there. The first 40% or so was a little slow as the background was laid and the characters established leading up to the ultimate reveal. I was a little annoyed at this at first because I wanted to know what was happened to the person on the attic, but the character development and eventual reveal played out so well and I loved all of the drama as it unfolded. I really loved Marley’s character growth and her relationships with each of the three brothers, especially Shay. The characters were so well developed all around, and I loved how the story really dove into the complexities of the relationships of the Joseph family. If you like family dramas, pick up Mercury!
