A real eye opener
This is not the type of story I usually read but it had me hooked from page one. I have always had the utmost admiration for people who do fostering and to read about this one particular case was a real eye opener for me. I wept in places but it just goes to show that sheer guts and determination, plus a lot of support can guide and nurture the most delicate of situations into positive outcomes. Highly recommended.

I really did enjoy reading this book
I really did enjoy reading this book, although it did seem very similar too another book by another popular author, even though the out come was very different, and I do know that both very Foster careers so I understand they they can have similar situations with the child that they might be caring for. On the whole I really like Maggie's writing style and feel that she did a great job of caring for Jess, Darren and Baby Jimmy. Most careers would have given up on Jess and Darren but Maggie cared enough to fight for them which makes her one special lady!

Fantastic
I really enjoyed this book, it's the first Maggie Hartley I've read, in places it was very difficult for me as I've been through the assessments etc with my grandson who we now have sgo of, how my son and his partner must have felt breaks my heart. Thank you Maggie for giving me some insight. Our story didn't end so well for birth parents but they tried and failed. Our lo is 3 now and we all believe he's in the right place
