Mercy House is a literary fiction book by author Alena Dillon.
Life is about fierce, funny and careless women who battle the most powerful organization in the world.
She will stop at nothing to protect the women under her care.

Inside a row of centuries-old Brooklyn restaurants, the treacherous Sister Evelyn and her other nuns preside over a safe haven for the abused and abandoned. Little Evelyn is frustrated, until she receives word that Mercy House will be investigated by Bishop Hawkins, a man with whom she shares a dark history. To protect everything they have built, the nuns have to hide many of their methods, which are forbidden by the Catholic Church.

Evelyn will do her best to protect all that she holds dear. She confronts a gang member, challenges the church, challenges her own beliefs, and confronts her past. She is supported by other nuns and the shelter’s vibrant, diverse residents – Lucia, Mei-Li, Desiree, Esther and Katrina – whose differences are outweighed by what unites them.
They were all broken by men but very determined to rebuild.

In the midst of her battle, Evelyn discovered the extraordinary power of mercy and grace it bestows, not only to those who receive it, but also to those strong enough to bestow it.

This is the story of three nuns who run a shelter (the Mercy House) in Brooklyn. Both the religious women and the young guests are powerful characters. Whether you like them or not, each woman makes you care about her in some way. They are strong and determined even when up against the furies of their abusers. Dillon successfully finds similar traits in all the abusive men – whether they were a collar or a tattoo to identify them. Dillon tells a story of what women can do when they support each other but she never villainizes all men!
