A powerful, moving true story from Sunday Times bestseller, Maggie Hartley, Britain's most-loved foster carer. Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass. When brothers Keegan, 11, and Cooper, 14, and Billy, 4, come to live with Maggie, she knows that it's going to be challenging. The brothers are already struggling with rejection after their dad abandoned them to live with his new partner on the opposite side of the country, and their mum died several years before. While Billy is a delight, Keegan is quiet and withdrawn, and Cooper is a whirlwind of destruction. His behaviour at school is disruptive and Maggie struggles to get through to him, especially when he's caught smoking and is in danger of being expelled from school. But then a shocking discovery turns everything on its head and leads Maggie to realise that what she believed to be true is completely wrong. Danger is lurking, but is it too late for Maggie to help? From Britain's best-loved foster carer, a new and inspiring true story of secrets and hope. *****
