Foster carer Maggie Hartley is accustomed to welcoming all kinds of children to her doorstep, but nothing can prepare her for the arrival of sisters Billy and Bo. When they arrive at her home, it becomes evident that they have been subjected to unimaginable neglect. Four-year-old Bo and seven-year-old Billy exude a sense of vulnerability, and it takes all of Maggie's skills as a foster carer to connect with the volatile little girls, who seem much younger than their years.

Over time, the girls slowly begin to open up, and Maggie embarks on the challenging task of earning their trust. However, as time passes, it becomes increasingly clear that there is something much darker lurking beneath the surface, something that will challenge everything Maggie has ever believed in her years as a foster carer.

This is a heart-wrenching tale of hope, resilience, and the power of love. It is a story that will break your heart, but also inspire you to believe in the goodness of humanity. Maggie Hartley's writing is raw and authentic, and her characters are deeply flawed and relatable. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered what it takes to be a foster carer, and the sacrifices that are made in the name of love.
