INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

A beautiful tale of hope, courage, and sisterhood—inspired by the real House of Mercy and the girls confined there for daring to break the rules.

Growing up in New York City in the 1910s, Luella and Effie Tildon realize that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. But when the sisters discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella, the brazen elder sister, becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. Her rebellion comes with consequences, and one morning Luella is mysteriously gone.

Effie suspects her father has sent Luella to the House of Mercy and hatches a plan to get herself committed to save her sister. But she made a miscalculation, and with no one to believe her story, Effie’s own escape seems impossible—unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. As their fates entwine, Mable and Effie must rely on their tenuous friendship to survive.

Home for Unwanted Girls meets The Dollhouse in this atmospheric, heartwarming story that explores not only the historical House of Mercy, but the lives—and secrets—of the girls who stayed there.

I loved this book from start to finish. All of the characters are beautifully captured, and I cared about each of their stories equally. The ending was perfect, and I will definitely read more of Serena Burdicks books.

I would recommend this book because of the overall storyline. However, the narrator for Effie is SO annoying I almost could not focus. As a result it took me quite a few chapters to get into. She sounds like she is reading Shakespeare and is over the top and unnecessary expressive and slow in her reading. Thankful when another narrator jumped in from another point of view of the story to lure me back in.
