The author is a ready specialist with three children, and is hearing impaired.
The various issues in the book discussed by us were:
- balance between work and home
- all humans make mistakes
- role reversal for Ellen, the social worker
- communication between spouses
- changes for Jenny, the young girl, and Ellen, the mother
- cycle of abuse
- meaning of the title, Little Mercies
Book club members were happy to have Pat D. rejoin us, and to celebrate Baby R.'s coming due date with a diaper bag full of children's books.
