Summary

From the bestselling author of the Thrown Away Children series comes another heartbreaking story of life in foster care.

Louise has trouble on her hands from the first moment that 5-year-old Billy Blackthorn comes to stay. He is one of more than 20 children taken into care from a single family, and erupts into the Allen household with a volatility that is frightening and disturbing in equal measure. It is only as Louise begins to uncover the secrets of Billy's dark past that she begins to understand what made his family 'untouchable'.

Another brilliant story from Louise, very sad and shocking that things like this happen

Good story but sad

Firstly many thanks to Louise for the brilliant work she and her family do. This one must have been really hard.

Secondly, prepare yourself for this book. No spoilers but I wasn't prepared for some of the content especially near the end. I'm a 52 year old man who has seen and read a lot in my life. However, this story made me feel very emotional.

Finally, a big well done to all foster carers. You deserve so much more recognition for what you do and hopefully something can and will be done to improve both the system and the support you and the children all need.

Another brilliant book

The book was sad and very moving! I could never in a million years think this would happen in our society I am embarrassed to be a human being! Animals wouldn’t behave like these sick twisted individuals did!!

The compassion and love from Louise and her family!
