As always, Heather Gudenkauf does not disappoint. This book had me in tears, with almost every chapter. The characters are palpable and the story line is one that is heavy, but poignant.
I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who needs a good read.

I enjoyed this book as I have all books by Heather Gudenkauf that I have read. This is the story of a ten-year old child who is left on her own and her journey to find family. It is also the story of a social worker and how the two are brought together.
Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf takes on the issue of child welfare system from two perspectives an experienced social worker who ends up a client of the system and a little girl who is trying to stay out of the foster care system. The main characters of the book are well drawn, but the plot comes together and resolves too conveniently.
