An emotional and inspiring collection of true fostering stories perfect for fans of Cathy Glass and Rosie Lewis. Includes the previously published stories "Too Scared To Cry," "The Girl No One Wanted," and "A Family For Christmas" - brought together for the first time in this warm and inspirational collection.
TOO SCARED TO CRY
When Ben and Damien arrive at Maggie's door, the two toddlers are too frightened to speak. Even more worrying, their baby brother Noah is completely unresponsive - he doesn't smile, play, or crawl. The three brothers have been conditioned to be seen and not heard, and it's up to Maggie to uncover what has caused this terrifying void.
THE GIRL NO ONE WANTED
Eleven-year-old Leanne is out of control. With over forty placements in her short life, no local foster carer is willing to take her in. Maggie is her only hope and her last chance. If this placement fails, Leanne will be sent to a secure unit. Where most would simply walk away, Maggie refuses to give up on the little girl who never knew love.
A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS
A tragic accident changes toddler Edward's life forever, and his family is filled with guilt. Maggie must help this family grieve for the son they lost and learn to love the little boy he is now. But will Edward have a family to go home to for Christmas?
These touching and inspirational short stories showcase the strength of a foster mother's love and her determination to help the children who come into her care. The true stories of fostering and adoption, and the efforts of a foster mother to help the children in her care recover from abuse, neglect, and trauma.
