Mary Ellen Wilson was abused by her foster mother for more than 7 years.
Etta Wheeler, a social worker, is determained to help Mary Ellen dispite the police, church, and court's lack of help.
Henry Bergh of the American Society for the Prevention of Crulity to Animals (ASPCA) is called on by Etta Wheeler to save a little girl's life.
This book is about these three people's stories and how their lives came together.
Having Mary Ellen's story broken up by Etta and Henry's stories keeps the story from becoming page after page of detailed abuse scenes. your mind is focused more on the development of the three characters lives than the child's actual abuse.
