Polly Marie was fostered eight times in her first year of life, the last time so abusive she had to spend a week in hospital. This left baby Polly withdrawn and deeply unhappy.

A couple, wanting a sister for their three-year-old daughter, adopted Polly and slowly taught her to trust again .

But all too soon her life fell apart again. And finding out during a playground argument that she was adopted added to her feelings of fear and insecurity.

This book is a compellingly honest and open account of events in her life that had a major emotional impact. It is the story of her complicated relationships with her adoptive mother and her biological mother, whom she traced as an adult. Nothing was straightforward; she could never have predicted the outcome.

I was emotionally drained reading Polly's story. I was there with her every step. It's cruel that anyone would treat a human being in this way, especially a child. It's a miracle that she did survive. Helen Robinson, former Chief Executive, Lincoln MIND.
