At first glance, Dr. LucyWeiss looks like a typical high-achieving, upper-middle-class working mother who is raising two children in the suburbs with her husband. 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 parent's 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.
