About this ebook
Twelve-year-old Meg arrives at Maggie's after a fire destroys the children's home she's been living in. Terrified and having lost most of her possessions, Maggie must work hard to make the vulnerable young girl feel at home. But traumatised by the fire, and angry and vulnerable, having been put into care by her mother, Meg is lashing out at everyone around her.
Can Maggie reach this damaged little girl before it's too late? And before Meg's destructive behaviour puts Maggie's life - and the lives of the other children in her care - at risk?
A true story of hope from Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, a foster carer for over 20 years.

Written with such passion. The kids stories are indescribable. Being a foster parent is such a thankless job. You're an amazing person and writer, I admire you for doing what you do.

About the author
Maggie Hartley has fostered more than 300 children while being a foster carer for over twenty years. Taking on the children other carers often can't cope with, Maggie helps children that are deemed 'unadoptable' because of their behaviour or the extreme trauma that they've been through. She's looked after refugees, supported children through sexual abuse and violence court cases, cared for teenagers on remand and taught young mums how to parent their newborn babies.
You can find her on Facebook at /MaggieHartleyAuthor, where she would love to hear from you.
