Harrowing and very traumatic.

It’s been quite a minute since I’ve read one of Rosie Lewis books, it’s not the sort of read you can say “oh I enjoyed that”.it is though books like this that make us aware, thankful and admire and feel grateful for those that can do this and bring a child within your fold, your job, your home and make them feel loved again, safe.

It was great to see positive results. I often wonder though, what about when they get to be adults.

Such a traumatic tale of innocent children shockingly abused and exploited.
However, from this book you can take hope and gratitude that foster carers like Rosie are around to openly take them in to their own World even if initially they go kicking and screaming) and gently work to help emotionally heal them to a degree they can manage better and have a more positive future in life.
A very informative book I would recommend.
My thanks go to the author, publishers and Netgalley for the arc of this book in return for a honest review

I have read quite a few of these books over the years, I have to admit as much as I enjoy reading them, they can be heart breaking. I kind of feel I shouldn't actually like them because of the subject matters, yet i'm drawn to them on regular occasions as I occasionally like to read something other than the crime thrillers I normally read.
​In this outing the story of ​Nine-year-old Archie and his five-year-old sister, Bobbi, are taken into emergency police protective custody after an incident of domestic violence at their family home. They are then taken into the home of Rosie, a foster carer. Both children have their own issues, this story is told brilliantly its a riveting read, I found once I started it, I wanted and needed to carry on to see what sort, if any, changes are made to these two little ones.
Secrets are revealed and its found these two little ones certainly haven't had a great start to life.
If you enjoy reading these type of books then this one is a must. Rosie is certainly one of kind, and an amazing foster carer, any child placed into Rosie's custody will certainly get the best she can offer. Interesting, educating and heart-breaking.

Another great book from foster carer Rosie Lewis. When two young children come to stay with Rosie, she finds she's got her hands full. Five-year-old Bobbi is one very damaged little girl and has frequent meltdowns, and whilst her older brother seems to be a miniature gentleman, all is not as it seems. Slowly, the truth about what these children have experienced in their short lives unravels. My only criticism of this book is that I wish it could have been longer, as I felt it ended suddenly and too quickly. I would be very interested to know what happens to these children as they hit puberty and beyond, as I very much suspect other issues become apparent. Was also great to hear how Megan (from Rosie's previous book Taken) is doing. I look forward to Rosie's next book.
