the lack of resources in social services !

The book was very sad ! But very in informative about how hard it is to be a foster carer. I personally am speaking as an adoptive parent. Plus i worked in education with special needs children , and saw through my own eyes lots if issyes!.
1 thing that i did learn which i very gratefull for is the hidden app ! on phones . I shal certainally be passing that on to my own children for my grandchildens saftey but also to anybody else i think it may help.
But mainly yes very much enjoyed your book and look forward to read anther of yours soon .well done !

The narration and story. Gripping.

Another brilliant listen. I do love the way these books are laid out, with the background story giving the insight. Have learnt so much from Louise. As sad as the stories can be , always an interesting read/listen.

Beautifully written as always.

I feel so much for Willow, sorry she couldn't manage to find peace along her path to recovery and in life.
I'm sorry Louise for you and your family that you couldn't get closure.
beautifully written and beautifully read x

The saddest story I've ever heard...

Louise, you have a gift, which is fortified by your depth of knowledge and training.

When I listened to this, my heart melted at the way in which you love all, just as though they are your own. Willow was able to live in the warmth of this love, and I had tears at every account of the way in which you loved her; calling her 'my little darling', how she would put her head on your shoulder.... the trust she eventually was able to put in you.... disclosing something so unfathomably horrid. But the most tears I've ever cried at any of your memoirs, was the outcome of this story. Oh my ... please God keep this beautiful child safe, until you can one day be together again.

Heartbreaking

Louise, Mike & Family! You're all an inspiration and continue to do amazing work. I know in the future you will reconnect with Willow and see how you love, kindness & patients supported her. Xx
