From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a harrowing and
moving memoir about two innocent and frightened unfosterable
children who do not know what it means to be loved.
This is the third book in the series.
The shock that strikes Casey and her family when Ashton and
Olivia arrive is immeasurable. Two dirty, frightened little waifs
stand before them, huge eyes staring around their new surroundings.
Ashton 9, Olivia 6, have the same urchin look; hair running wild
with head lice, filthy nails and skin covered in scabs. And the
smell is horrific. The eldest two children of a group of five
siblings, Casey had only been told they were coming two days
earlier. But it was an emergency, temporary placement, and they
were only due to stay a couple of weeks
Casey is desperate to help these poor, lost children, who have
been taken away from their family because they were considered at
risk, but before she can even start to understand the horrific
things that have happened in the past, she has to teach them the
most basic of behaviours. Ashton and Olivia have no barriers and no
sense of what s right and wrong her challenges begin with the
toilet and eating habits.
The weeks roll into months and the months roll on, but bit by
bit the children are starting to feel like they truly belong to a
family, for the first time. With this new found security and love,
gradually they start to reveal what really happened to them and
their siblings at home, and slowly Casey can help them start to
rebuild their young lives."
