From the bestselling author of the Thrown Away Children series comes another heartbreaking story of life in foster care.

Parents Angelina and Ben exist in enviable luxury: not just wealth, success and a gorgeous home, but a loving relationship and beautiful twin babies to complete the perfect family.

But having it all means that you have the most to lose. And when cracks begin to appear things fall apart at a shocking pace; and it's twins Max and Mia who suffer the most.

Money isn't enough to paper over the problems in this extraordinary and heartbreaking story. It is a foster-caring experience like no other, and one which tests Louise's emotional strength to the core.©2023 Louise Allen (P)2023 W. F.

Heartbreaking story but heart warming that there were people to fight for the children! Well written and narrated

What I love with Louise's involvements in her profession as a (exemplary) foster carer is her determination to do the right thing.... even if sometimes that 'right thing' pushes against the confines of the prescribed practice.

This story illustrates that exactly. And blimey oh Riley if she (and her husband Lloyd) had NOT.... the outcome would have been devastating. The lives of Angelina, Ben, Max and Mia would have been altered forever more, and in a terrible way.
I also particularly appreciated the highlighting of the far too common assumption that wealthy people MUST be snobby, therefore deserve to be 'brought down a peg' and in some way or another penalised, Atrocious. I've personally been covertly subjected to this; it's inverted snobbery and often simply masking ugly jealousy....... as in the case of this lovely, human, therefore faulty at times family. Thank you Louise. You really are one of life's all-rounders, borne of your own experiences as well as intelligence and developed intuition. But what potentially trumps all of these qualities I'm afraid is your hysterical humour! I had tears of laughter in my eyes at parts of this book!
This must NOT go unacknowledged!
The dentist running commentary:
'Left bottom doodah
Right top hoohah
Eleventy-12th ......'

And the David Attenborough commentary!

Your mind is full of life and it's a pleasure to have discovered your work Louise 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Excellent and unusual view of another side of fostering. If Louise ever questioned the whys of her childhood, hopefully she understands that without it, her depth of compassion and search for justice wouldn't be such rare brilliance...she is special and so is her hubby...thanks for sharing your life!

Louise's strength and guidance shines
