About this listen

In the much-anticipated follow-up to Sunday Times bestseller Trapped, foster carer Rosie Lewis tells the heartbreaking true story of Zadie.

When the young teenage girl, thrown out of her home by her strict Muslim family, is discovered hiding on the city streets by the police, it is clear that all is not as it should be.

Taught to believe that Westerners should not be trusted, when Zadie is initially delivered into the experienced hands of foster carer Rosie she is understandably suspicious of the family around her. Through Rosie’s support and understanding, gradually Zadie begins to settle into her new surroundings, but loyalty to her relatives prevents her from confessing the horrifying truth about her troubled past.

When the shocking truth finally emerges, Rosie and her family can hardly believe that Zadie had managed to keep the secret to herself for so long.

This is definitely a story that needs to be listened too, but make sure you have the tissue ready as you will need it. Have read all of Rosie’s books but in the wrong order being blind lol but I couldn’t wait to read the next one. Definitely shows what foster carers go through and after being adopted and having foster children this is 100% true, honest and genuine thank you for writing these books.

Heartbreaking but yet so amazing
