A heartbreaking, powerful true story from Sunday Times bestseller, Maggie Hartley, Britain’s most-loved foster carer. Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass and Casey Watson.
Foster carer Maggie Hartley is used to all manner of children arriving on her doorstep, but nothing can prepare her for sisters Billy and Bo when they arrive at her home.

I love Maggie ‘s books this is a story that breaks your heart for the children & Maggie. It would be nice to get updates of Maggie’s stories this is the only thing that is missing.I recommend that everyone reads this & all her books.

Love her

Not my favourite of Maggies books but still deserving of 5 stars and l’ll explain why.
Although difficult to read at times this book has been written with sympathy and dignity. At one point I totally disagreed with Maggies opinions and I became frustrated at her choices but by the end of this book I was on her page and better understood the depths of learnt behaviour and rehabilitation.

Heart breaking to read, what these poor children went through and then to find out parents had been abused too, hopefully with time and lots of love these children will begin to live happy and fulfilled lives
