Description

Three-year-old Lexie, five-year-old Amelie and thirteen-year-old Leo are brought together by Maggie, who welcomes them into her home after Leo reveals the neglect and abuse he and his sisters have suffered at the hands of their mother and her partner. The gentle care Leo shows to his younger sisters is clear, and it's evident that Lexie and Amelie adore their big brother, relying on him for comfort and reassurance. However, Leo's own struggles with an eating disorder and signs of OCD make him vulnerable to the prospect of being separated from his sisters. As Social Services consider adoptive families for the children, Maggie is faced with a difficult decision. Should the children stay together, potentially sacrificing their chance of being adopted, or should they be separated to give the girls a better chance of finding a forever home? This heart-wrenching story explores the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges of providing a stable and loving environment for vulnerable children. Maggie's decision will have a profound impact on the lives of all three children, and the consequences of her choice will be far-reaching. A powerful and thought-provoking portrayal of family life, this book raises important questions about the importance of sibling bonds and the challenges of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need.
