Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf

4.0

---

I was totally drawn into this book. Ellen is a busy social worker and mother juggling the activities and stresses of her own family and the abused and neglected children she works with. On a hot summer day, she does the unthinkable when she unknowingly leaves her 10 month old sleeping daughter strapped in her carseat while responding to an emergency with a family she works with.
