Description
When a 16-year-old girl arrives at her foster carer's doorstep with a newborn baby, she is faced with a daunting responsibility. Scared, alone, and practically a child herself, Jess must navigate the challenges of caring for a newborn without the support of a loving family or partner.
The social services threaten to take the baby away, and Jess's only hope is that her foster carer can help her learn to become a mother. As Jess struggles to cope with the demands of caring for a baby, she must also confront her own vulnerabilities and the uncertainty of her future.
This heart-wrenching story explores the complexities of foster care and the challenges of motherhood, raising important questions about the support and care that young people need to thrive.
