A Little Girl in Tears
By Butler, Ellis Parker
In a rain-swept city night, a comfortable man’s search for excitement leads him far beyond diversion and into a world of poverty, sorrow, and unexpected human grace. What begins as a flirtation with danger becomes a poignant encounter with lives balanced between desperation and hope. Ellis Parker Butler crafts a finely observed tale of chance, conscience, and the startling distance between privilege and suffering.
