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.
Simplistic storytelling on topic of child abuse and neglect. Not what I had hoped for based on the reviews that I read. My question is how in the world could a mother forget or not know that she had left her child in a closed vehicle on a scorching 105 degree day? If she had too much to do because she had too many kids maybe she needed to think about why she did have so many kids to begin with! This book was way over rated.

Captivating

This book starts out straight into action, it goes back and forth between two characters who have extremely painful situations going on. They eventually intertwine and it becomes more intense as things progress. This is an amazing story be ready for some heart wrenching plot twists.
