When 16-year-old Jess arrives on foster carer Maggie Hartley's doorstep with her newborn son, Jimmy, she has nowhere else to go. Arriving straight from the hospital, having just given birth, Jess is like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Scared, alone, and practically a child herself, she is overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for a newborn without the support of a loving family or her beloved boyfriend.

With social services threatening to take baby Jimmy into care, Jess knows that Maggie is her only chance of keeping her son. Maggie can see that Jess loves her boyfriend and wants to be a good mother to her son. Can Maggie help Jess learn to become a mum? Will the family ever be allowed to live together?

It shows you can't judge a book by its cover. Jimmy and Lilly are so lucky it turned out for them. I felt like Jimmy's parents were judged wrongly but they proved they were and no doubt still are very good parents. well done 👏

an amazing book about how you should never dismiss someone's ability to do something based on age, Just because your a teenager doesn't mean your not able to look after your baby. Well done to Maggie for persuading SS to give them a chance 😁

brilliant 😊
