Description
Casey Watson is asked to care for a troubled nine-year-old named Sam, who has a violent streak and was previously released by his guardians. As she tries to understand Sam's behaviour, she uncovers a mysterious past that is far darker than she initially imagined. Sam's arrival is a challenge for the Watson family, who are still adjusting to life after their last foster child. Despite their best efforts, Sam's behaviour becomes increasingly difficult to manage, and it becomes clear that he has a troubled history. With the help of his link worker and a neighbour who has known him, Casey sets out to uncover the truth about Sam's past. As she digs deeper, Casey discovers that Sam's history is marked by trauma and abuse, and that he has been living with the consequences of these events for a long time. This powerful and moving story explores the challenges of caring for a child with complex needs, and the importance of understanding and empathy in building strong relationships.
