Summary

Ruth was a ghost of a girl when she arrived into foster mother Maggie Hartley's care. Pale, frail and withdrawn, it was clear to Maggie that Ruth had seen and experienced things that no 11-year-old should have to, that she had been conditioned to 'see no evil, speak no evil'.

Ruth is in desperate need of help, but can Maggie get through to her and unlock the harrowing secret she carries? Through love, reassurance and patience, Maggie starts to unravel Ruth's painful past - a past defined by cruelty and abuse by the very people who should have protected her.

Raised by a cruel stepmother and her father after her own mum abandoned her, Ruth was abused, underfed and ignored while her half siblings lived a life of luxury. It's up to Maggie to help Ruth find her voice - to be a ghost no more and bring those who have harmed her to justice.

I do love these Maggie Hartley books and Penelope McDonald listens. The Narration is really lovely as she has a kind of soothing voice which helps when listening to such sad stories . Mostly these stories work out for the children with Maggie's great and dedicated work . I feel I learn a lot from these books and as someome who works with kids I find them quite and education and interesting.

Another sad but interesting and great listen
