Product details
The true story of a foster child on a remote farm. Compassionately and inspiringly, number-one bestselling author Hera Lind tells the fate of Steffi in her nonfiction novel "In the Name of Mercy," who has endured terrible experiences. But she has not been silenced.
In 1970, a lonely, impoverished farm in Styria becomes the new home for 2-year-old Steffi: The Vienna Youth Welfare Office places her with the farmer as a foster child. From a young age, Steffi has to work hard for her meager meals, she does not get her own bed, and she has no shoes. In return, the punishments for the slightest offenses are draconian. From the age of nine, Steffi is regularly abused. When she becomes pregnant, she mobilizes her last bit of resistance: Steffi runs away from the farmer and seeks refuge in a convent. Now, she thinks, her nightmare has come to an end. But no one wants to listen to her – and certainly does not believe her. Nevertheless, Steffi does not give up.
A touching fate that is not an isolated case. What happened to Steffi was also not an accident: Until the 1980s, children in homes were systematically placed with impoverished farmers – not just in Austria. Bestselling author Hera Lind gives a voice to thousands of children through Steffi in her nonfiction novel.
