Summary
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER and perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, a new powerful true story from Maggie Hartley, foster carer for over 20 years.
'Mummy! Where did you go? Please come back, Mummy.'
When police are called to a local supermarket late one evening, they find an angry shopkeeper and a silent young woman. It's the third time 24-year-old Zoe has been caught stealing in the past few days. Eyes filled with panic, Zoe has been hiding bread, milk, Calpol and nappies under her coat. As police officers break down the door of Zoe's flat they find seven-year-old Coco and two-year-old Lola, home alone, huddled on the floor in a freezing cold bedroom, crying out for their mummy.
When Social Services are called in, the girls are taken into care and are soon tucked up safely in bed at Maggie's house. It looks like a simple case of neglect, but things aren't always what they seem and, with Maggie's help, can Zoe convince Social Services that love is enough to be a good mum?

Excellent book
I really enjoyed this book by Maggie and was sad when it ended. It was very well narrated by Penelope McDonald. I hope Maggie keeps writing her fostering stories. They are heartwarming.

I shed tears.
Maggie Hartley is one of life’s angels and it’s no surprise that - as in this tale - the mummy of the 2 little girls who were taken away also leaned into Maggie’s warmth, her compassion and her calm manner. Maggie was so professionally able to see what this mother really needed, and fought for her, not allowing the prejudice of the social worker to influence others. It warmed my heart and I unusually shed tears; this time, for the mother. It does concern me however that Pamela (NOT Pam!) was not taken to task on her attitude/prejudice and was simply moved on to ‘help’ others, who may need to depend on her. Should actually be removed from her position/struck off.
But Maggie is wonderful and it gives me huge reassurance to know that people like her are doing this important job. Xxx
