Tilly detests her stepfather, Dave, who relentlessly abuses her mother. Despite the unbearable circumstances, she remains steadfast in her loyalty to him. Filled with fear for her well-being, Tilly courageously seeks refuge in foster care, hoping to find a safer environment. Her request is granted, and she is placed under the care of Cathy. Upon her arrival, Tilly bears a visible graze on her cheek, raising further concerns for Cathy. The sight of her stepfather's erratic behavior, particularly his showering of Tilly with gifts, sends chills down Cathy's spine. While she diligently cares for Tilly and strives to protect her from harm, Cathy's mind is preoccupied with her own daughter, Lucy. She faces a daunting decision that will shape the course of her life. Cathy grapples with the weight of her choices, hoping that she will make the right decision that will safeguard both Tilly and Lucy. This gripping tale is sure to captivate fans of Maggie Hartley, Lisa Stone, and Ann Cusack, delivering a powerful and emotional story of resilience and sacrifice.
