Publisher's summary

IS IT MY FAULT MUMMY?
Seven-year-old Paris is trapped in a prison of guilt. Devastated after the death of her baby brother, Joel, Maggie faces one of her most heartbreaking cases yet as she tries to break down the wall of guilt surrounding this damaged little girl.

A DESPERATE CRY FOR HELP
Twelve-year-old Meg arrives at Maggie's after a fire destroys the children's home she's been living in. 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 Maggies life - and the lives of the other children in her care - at risk?
These heartwarming and inspiring short stories show the power of a foster mother's love, and her determination to help the children who come into her care.

True stories of hope from Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, a foster carer for over 20 years.

*Two of these stories have previously been published as individual ebooks*

Well, written, and well read

Well, written, and well read the stories in the us are truthful, sometimes hard to hear, but engaging and real and for someone who does foster care in America and his adopted children it definitely gives a perspective of the system in another country and the things that they seem to do better and not better and how so much of the situation is hard whether you are in America or somewhere else five star review
