To Whom It May Concern Kindle Edition

When Marie Jennings receives a journal written by a 13-year-old girl with blood spatter on the cover, and filled with poetry of suicidal thoughts and physical abuse, her skills are tested beyond what she ever expected. Jennings, a 25-year-old supervisor with Child Protective Services in North Vegas, Nevada, has earned an impressive reputation for saving children from the bleakest circumstances. However, the journal was sent anonymously and holds little information about the author, Cinnamon McKinnon.How can Jennings save a girl she’s never met from Sequoia Vista, California, a town she’d never heard of where she has no jurisdiction?
