Publisher's summary

'Please help me,' he said in a small voice. 'Will you help me?'

Six-year-old Ralph has only been in the care system for three days and has already been rejected by three different foster carers. After hitting a teacher at his school and causing mayhem since he arrived four months ago, staff are unable to get a hold of his mum and her partner.

Social Services are called and when Ralph turns up at Maggie's house, she knows immediately it's going to be a challenge. Within a couple of hours, Ralph has trashed Maggie's house and spit on her face. After a nightmare first day though, Maggie notices that Ralph is limping and a hospital check reveals broken limbs and several injuries that are months and years old. Can Maggie help this troubled little boy who has been rejected by everyone in his life find his forever home?

From Britain's most-loved foster carer, a new powerful true story of abuse, family and hope.

resilience and compassion at its best

maggie is my ultimate favorite author- all of her books have been absolutely captivating. She is such a strong and resilient person and an incredible writer. This book, as all of her books are, was inspiring and honest- to the point that I completed it too quickly! (2 short days!). I would give it 10 stars if I could!
