Publisher Description: <strong>INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER</strong> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/><em>Home for Unwanted Girls</em> meets <em>The Dollhouse</em> 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. <p/><strong>"Burdick has spun a cautionary tale of struggle and survival, love and family -- and above all, the strength of the heart, no matter how broken." -- <em>New York Times</em> Book Review</strong> <p/><strong>"Burdick reveals the perils of being a woman in 1913 and exposes the truths of their varying social circles." -- <em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong>
