In The Name of Mercy Berniece Kroll

Four adolescents from differing backgrounds of known mafia parentage, alcoholism and racial prejudice, come together in a condemned building used as a 'dance hall' and living quarters for throw away kids, transients, and homeless elderly people. Tianna Adelaide Mercy is pulled out of an apple box cradle, and rescued by the kids as the five stories of the fire trap falls in flames around them. Unsure of biological background, these adolescents claim her and raise her as their own. Tianna becomes the missing anchor, the absent glue, the new direction, in the lives of these youth and their families. This author's writings make us stop, think and possibly explore our own lives and how we want to live them." Linda Snell LCSW "I have read several of Ms. Kroll's books. They are amazing examples of mankind's search for love." Deana Cheney
