Little Face

It's every mother's nightmare.

The Washington Post - Art Taylor

Mysteries abound—Who is Little Face? What's happened to her and Alice? Was the wrong man convicted for the first wife's murder?—but if the answers prove clunky, the author delves more successfully into moral quandaries: What does motherhood mean? What should a mother do when she thinks her child is in danger—especially if her own family doesn't agree? Alice herself says, "Sometimes you have to choose: child or grandchild, husband or daughter, son or daughter-in-law." It's those choices and their consequences that make Little Face compelling.
