Summary
The story of a six-year-old girl who is beaten to death in Greenwich Village and the warning signs that were misinterpreted by those in a position to sound the alarm. Brownmiller skillfully uses her imaginative powers to understand the tragedy of battery and child abuse in this powerful, wrenching novel inspired by the real-life events of the Lisa Steinberg case. A story superbly told, with vividly observed characters and sharp, compelling prose that comes alive along with them.
