Description
Flip's arrival at the Watsons' lives is a moment that will stay with them forever. On a hot August afternoon, an eight-year-old girl enters their home, accompanied by her social worker, and everything changes. Flip has experienced trauma, having lost her home in a fire, but she seems remarkably resilient. Casey, a foster carer, is determined to provide a safe haven for this young girl, who struggles with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. As Casey navigates the challenges of caring for Flip, she faces unexpected difficulties. The child's concerns about her appearance are just the beginning, and Casey soon discovers that fostering a child with FAS requires patience, understanding, and skill. This heart-wrenching story explores the complexities of foster care, the importance of love and acceptance, and the resilience of the human spirit. With its honest portrayal of life in foster care, Skin Deep is a powerful and moving read.
