Description
A heart-wrenching story about a young girl's desperate search for love and belonging. At just ten years old, Kirsty has already suffered a lifetime of hardship, but finds fleeting hope when she is fostered by Pat and Mike. However, their rejection leaves her feeling lost and alone once more. Kirsty's latest foster carer, Maggie Hartley, takes her in with an open heart, only to be torn between her growing feelings for eight-month-old Ryan, whom she has cared for since birth, and the angry, troubled girl who now stands before her. As Kirsty's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, Maggie must confront the difficult decision that will determine the course of Kirsty's life. A powerful exploration of the complexities of foster care and the resilience of the human spirit, this book is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love and connection.
