AT GOD’S MERCY begins during the waning days of World War II as Helena, a Jewish woman in Poland, tried to flee the Nazi who was trying to kill her. Following a chase through the woods while carrying a basket holding her twin sons, the pursuer agreed to not kill them. She left the basket at the side of the road hoping babies would be rescued, then turned back to face her destiny. Fifty years later, Jeremiah, a rabbi in the US, received a letter informing him that he had a twin brother. He got his name and went to find him. The brother, Isaiah, who lived nearby, also did not know that he was a twin, an identical one at that. Both boys had been adopted in the US but by different families. Isaiah was a priest. The two men get to know each other while Isaiah meets the family he didn’t know he had: Jeremiah’s wife and four of his five daughters. Jeremiah does not want any contact with his eldest daughter, Eva, because she left the religious life, joined the military, and plans to marry a Christian. The brothers decided to travel to Poland to learn what they could about their parents. Their search open windows long closed as they get closer to the truth. What they find is a stone wall as the people in the village deny that any Jews ever lived there. They also find anti-Semitism is still alive and well, partly for a surprising reason. There are some interesting observations: In one early discussion between the brothers, Isaiah states, “We’re both far too comfortable solving other people’s problems.” Jeremiah responds, “Well, why not. It’s much easier than just solving your own problems.” When one of his younger daughters questions her parents about Isaiah being a priest, Jeremiah says, “Christian, Muslim, Buddhist....what does it matter, he’s my twin!
