Description

When social worker Ellen Moore makes a split-second decision that changes a child’s life, she becomes the center of a devastating investigation and is forced to question everything she believes about justice, motherhood, and responsibility. At the same time, young Jenny struggles to survive after being left on her own, relying on street smarts and fragile hope as she navigates an uncertain world. Told with emotional intensity and compassion, this gripping novel explores the tenuous bonds between parents and children, the consequences of imperfect choices, and the small acts of kindness that can offer redemption.
