Fourteen-year-old Adrianna arrives on Casey's doorstep with no
possessions, no English, and no explanation. It will be a few weeks
before Casey starts getting the shocking answers to her
questions.... Brought to Casey as a short-term emergency placement,
fourteen-year-old Adrianna arrives with nothing but her gratitude.
Having 'turned herself in' to a social services office some hundred
miles away, she has no possessions, no English and, apparently, no
history - not that she's willing to share, anyway. She is a
beautiful young Polish girl, with the bearing of a ballerina, but
is terrified, malnourished and unwell. And, having slept rough for
some time (the little they do know about her) she spends much of
her first days with Watsons asleep in bed. Growing concerned about
Adrianna's wellbeing, and her persistent high temperature, Casey
decides to call in the GP. But, to her surprise, Adrianna becomes
almost hysterical about being examined and, given her refusal to
talk - even via the interpreter they've brought in for her -
Casey's fostering antennae begin twitching. Where has she come
from? And why is she so terrified to be touched? What has happened
to make her so ill and scared? It will be a few weeks before Casey
starts getting answers to these questions. Shocking answers; ones
that throw up a whole host of new questions and the beginnings of a
journey to find justice for Adrianna, and, more importantly, a
future, and a home...
