Summary
'Mama is gone and I cry every night.'
When a terrified young girl is discovered hiding in the back of a lorry, she is quickly taken into the care of social services. Arriving on the doorstep of foster carer Maggie Hartley, she is painfully thin, bruised and unable to speak a word of English. What atrocities has she escaped to bring her here?
Woken each night by the screams of Halima's nightmares, Maggie is desperate to reach this damaged young girl. But without a shared language, she fears that she may never uncover the truth behind her terror. Can Maggie help Halima recover from the horrors she has endured, and help her build a new life for herself? Or will Halima forever be haunted by the ghosts of her past?
A true story of hope from Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, a foster carer for over 20 years.

Another good true story from Maggie
another good story from Maggie. I enjoyed it a lot. Though not sure why the recent update comes at the end. I think it should be at the beginning.

Timeline doesn’t make any sense, false advertising.
If this was a true story then it would’ve been set in 2013 or later (because of the events mentioned to do with ISIS in Syria)
In the 2016 book that she wrote called “tiny prisoners” which is supposed to be set most recently then she has a 6 year old son and two foster children who she’s been fostering for 14 years!
If this is a true story like advertised, then her biological son and two foster daughters would’ve been in this book.
It’s obviously fiction!
