Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. awesome book ( ) I've read all of Heather's books so far and this is my favorite. Any busy parent will easily be able to put themselves in Ellen's shoes in this novel. One monumental mistake in our busy lives can change everything, and Heather does a great job of looking at the emotional situation from every angle. Then there is Jenny's story intertwined - another realistic look at the social service system and the good and bad of what comes from it. Heather made me truly care about these characters and every person affected by their lives. A very heartfelt story!

HTML: In her latest ripped-from-the-headlines tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf shows how one small mistake can have life-altering consequences... Veteran social worker Ellen Moore has seen the worst side of humanity--the vilest acts one person can commit against another. She 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, threatening to shatter everything she holds dear, and trapping her between the gears of the system she works for. Meanwhile, ten-year-old Jenny Briard has been living with her well-meaning but irresponsible father since her mother left them, sleeping on friends' couches and moving in and out of cheap motels. When Jenny 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 lives collide, little do they know just how much they can help one another. A powerful and emotionally charged tale about motherhood and justice, Little Mercies is a searing portrait of the tenuous grasp we have on the things we love the most, and of the ties that unexpectedly bring us together. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
