Resumen del Editor

“A life-altering debut featuring fierce, funny, and irreverent women who battle the most powerful institution in the world. This is the book we’ve all been waiting for.” (Amy Schumer)

She would stop at nothing to protect the women under her care.

Inside a century-old row house in Brooklyn, renegade Sister Evelyn and her fellow nuns preside over a safe haven for the abused and abandoned. Gruff and indomitable on the surface, warm and wry underneath, little daunts Evelyn, until she receives word that Mercy House will be investigated by Bishop Hawkins, a man with whom she shares a dark history. In order to protect everything they’ve built, the nuns must conceal many of their methods, which are forbidden by the Catholic Church.

Evelyn will go to great lengths to defend all that she loves. She confronts a gang member, defies the church, challenges her own beliefs, and faces her past. She is bolstered by the other nuns and the vibrant, diverse residents of the shelter - Lucia, Mei-Li, Desiree, Esther, and Katrina - whose differences are outweighed by what unites them: They’ve all been broken by men but are determined to rebuild.

Amidst her fight, Evelyn discovers the extraordinary power of mercy and the grace it grants, not just to those who receive it, but to those strong enough to bestow it.

Hoped For More!

I really expected this story to be better than it was, and the narration was far from good... I did not like the main narrator’s portrayal of Evelyn.... Her attempt at a New York accent was awful! Even the other performers were pretty bad with bringing to life their characters. No need to waste your time on listening to this audiobook.

So very good, highly recommend!

This was beautifully written. It is honest, deep, and so very important. I actually felt honored to read/listen to it and honored that Alena Dillon wrote it to be read/heard. I hadn’t even heard about it but got it as part of an Audible credit deal. So very good!

Great story!!! If you love the central theme of Call the Midwife, you’ll love Mercy House!

Loved feeling the power of women and friendship radiate throughout this book. Superb narration. I enjoyed hearing the different voices of the women so much ❤️

Good story until the ending

I was really enjoying this story, but the ending was a huge letdown. It felt like the author didn't know how to end it and gave up.

Rather Predictable Storyline

The is one that’s been told many times. The characters felt rather flat and it was hard to become emotionally involved.
The main reader did a good job, but the addition of other readers for parts didn’t feel fluid and was unnecessary.

Just amazing

I loved this book. I was on the edge of my seat, heart beat raised or just crying my eyes out throughout listening to this. Just plain amazing

I enjoyed it very much

Good story read well. I recommend it. Although it’s about a nun and a domestic violence house, it’s isn’t sad or focused on religion.
