A national best seller, deemed "one of Morrison's most haunting works," A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart, like Beloved, it is the story of a mother and a daughter--a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

In the 1680s the slave trade in the Americas is still in its infancy. Jacob Vaark is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh North. Despite his distaste for dealing in "flesh," he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, who can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Rejected by her mother, Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, and later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives.

It's not for aggressive chewers.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
The bone looks solid except for the brown strip wrapped around it. My dog chewed a piece of it off and tried to swallow them. I had to pull two strips of hard plastic out of his mouth. I threw the bone away.

Seemed to be flavorful
This toy started off strong. Could smell the chicken stock. by the next day the bone was destroyed. I am not going to say the product was weak, but my 60 lb. pit is a lot stronger, I guess. The material did not make a mess as far as I know, unless my dog just inhaled all of the tiny pieces

If you have a chewer - This is the bone for you!
I have purchased this bone three times and thought it was about time I wrote a review. My dog is a chewer - No matter how tough the toy claims to be, he rips it apart in minutes. And although he has a few hard bones, he prefers the toys he can damage. I received this bone as a gift and expected it to be another one that would fall into the pile of rarely touched bones. But this is the bone that he grabs almost every day. I honestly don't know what makes this bone different, but he loves it! It holds up to heavy duty chewing no matter how much he chews it. It holds its shape and (apparently) its flavor. Little bits do break off and it shows wear over time, but it is very long lasting. Added bonus - As a dog parent, I love that it has no smell and it never gets wet/sticky/gross.

Truly indestructible!
My 80lb English bulldog, that literally can chew his way through a tree trunk if left to his own devices, has not been able to destroy this toy. Rather, he’s enjoyed chomping on it bc of the scent and heavy weight for more than a year. Good value and will hopefully last many more years.
