Edwina Wright Davis has been writing for more than six decades but Lessons in Mercy is her first book. Her gift for writing became apparent when at age four, she began to journal the experiences of her dolls, playmates and family members in storybooks and plays -- “This is the story of Little Sally Ann who could never stop …” And “my brother’s little legs pedaled as fast as they could as he rode his maroon and white bicycle into the raging rain and wind of Hurricane Hazel while yelling back at me, ‘Get to the basement. I am going to get Mama.’ “.
