About this listen
Neglected, unloved and rejected. A little girl desperate for a home to call her own.
At just 10 years old, Kirsty has already suffered a lifetime of heartache and suffering. Neglected by her teenage mother and taken into care, Kirsty thought she had found her forever family when she was fostered by Pat and Mike, whom she came to see as her real mum and dad.
But when Pat has a heart attack and collapses in front of her, Kirsty's foster family say it's all her fault. They blame her temper tantrums for putting Pat under stress, and they don't want Kirsty in their lives anymore.
Kirsty is still reeling from this rejection when she comes to live with foster carer Maggie Hartley. She acts out, smashing up Maggie's home, and even threatens to hurt the baby boy Maggie has fostered since birth. Social Services must take Kirsty's threat seriously, and Maggie is forced to choose between eight-month-old Ryan, whom she's grown to love, or angry Kirsty, who will most likely end up in a children's home if Maggie can no longer care for her.
Maggie is in an impossible position, one that calls in to question her decision to become a foster carer in the first place....

MaggieWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes but I don't want to spoil the story for anyoneAny additional comments?
This is a very well written book which triggered many emotions in me. I was so impressed by Maggie's selflessness in making such a difficult choice, but time proved that it was the right one. I am amazed at the patience and dedication of foster caters like Maggie, who often have to endure very difficult and challenging behaviour which disrupts their lives. But children's lives are turned around by their love and understanding.Loved this book
