Little Mercies - Paperback

One small mistake can have life-altering consequences...

Veteran social worker Ellen Moore is a fiercely dedicated children's advocate and a devoted mother and wife. But one blistering summer day, a simple moment of distraction will have repercussions that Ellen could never have imagined.

Meanwhile, when ten-year-old Jenny Briard suddenly finds herself on her own, she is forced to survive with nothing but a few dollars and her street smarts. The last thing she wants is a social worker, but when Ellen's and Jenny's paths collide, little do they know just how much they will change each other's life.

Riveting and emotionally charged, Little Mercies is a searing novel of suspense that shows just how easily our world can shatter and how far we would go to survive.
