An ex-Union officer struggles to overcome the atrocities of being a prisoner of war, made more difficult from the harsh realities of post-war survival as he searches for a new way of life on the untamed plains. When he meets up with Glory and the Abernathy's, his life changes forever...

"Mercer's Manor" by Bobby R. Woodall has Dan Mercer leading a cast of strong male characters through their paces. Mercer's an ex-soldier from Andersonville Prison, trying to forge a new life for himself against tough odds.. Mr. Woodall's descriptions paint a vivid picture of the harsh realities of the post Civil War era and Mercer is indeed a memorable hero in the best Western tradition." Shannah Biondine

"Mercer's Manor" is a refreshing novel like those I remember reading as a kid. It required me to use my imagination, unlike most graphically displayed books of today. We need more wholesome storywriters like Mr. Woodall." Roderick Bockmiller Ph.D. Nobelsville, Indiana

"Woodall tells a great story and tells it well. He knows his 19th century like the back of his hand and brings it beautifully to life in this western novel!" Erin O'Riordan
The following is a review I received and I have asked the reviewer his permission to use it! Raising my coffee mug I toast everyone to have a wonderful day, for ole Bobby is sure to have one!
"I have just finished Mercer's Manor, which I read in two sittings and very much enjoyed. I like the character of Dan a lot and found him easy to identify with, and especially the complicated relationship between him and Glory, which is not resolved until the final chapter and the fire at the Wayfarer. The relationship between Dan and Archie is also very well drawn, I think, and lays out the joys and the difficulties two men experience when they try to combine mutual protection and friendship with the process of getting to know each other.
I consider your portrayal of the Nineteenth Century American West a well-researched and colorful portrait of life in those times, and your secondary characters nicely fill out the attitudes and viewpoints of people who lived there then. You also accomplished the difficult task of representing Christian values without resorting to lectures or preaching. I know this is hard to do, and you did it here." A. F.
