But having overcome a difficult childhood in foster care, Lucy knows firsthand what it is like to grow up in the margins. Now a pediatrician, she finds herself working with at-risk patients and their families. Every day she must decide whether a parents actions are so incompetent - or so clueless - that a child is in danger. As she moves between her disparate worlds - from worrying about her own daughter enduring the social pressures of adolescence to worrying about parents struggling with drugs and impossible living situations - Lucy must judge herself as a parent, critique other parents, and also deal with the echoes of her childhood.Through it all, she keeps the balance with humor and sympathy. The Mercy Rule is a compassionate and funny novel sure to resonate with those who know the joys and challenges of taking care of children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939234644256,"sku":"NEW0547237847","price":13.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-mercy-rule-0547237847","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
