Cuando las sufragistas se manifestaban en las calles de Nueva York y los sindicalistas luchaban por unas condiciones de trabajo dignas, a las chicas descarriadas las encerraban en la Casa de la Misericordia.

Cerca de la mansion familiar de Luella y Effie Tildon se cierne la Casa de la Misericordia, una institucion para mujeres caidas en desgracia, mujeres consideradas indignas de vivir en sociedad. Bajo esa sombra amenazadora, las hermanas crecen sabiendo que, incluso para jovenes acomodadas como ellas, la libertad tiene limites muy estrictos.

Todo cambia cuando juntas descubren un secreto familiar escandaloso y Luella, la mayor y mas atrevida, decide que ella tiene derecho a hacer lo que le plazca. El dia que Luella desaparece misteriosamente, Effie sospecha que su padre ha cumplido la amenaza de ingresarla en la Casa de la Misericordia, asi que elabora un plan para salvarla. Sin embargo, comete un error y nadie cree su historia. A partir de ese momento, el destino de Effie estara en manos de Mable, una enigmatica companera de encierro. De la incipiente amistad y la confianza entre ambas dependeran sus posibilidades de sobrevivir.

Una historia de esperanza, coraje y sororidad, inspirada en la Casa de la Misericordia y las mujeres alli confinadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
