'It's ok, Felix, don't worry. We're going to find your mummy.'

When newborn baby Felix is found abandoned at a train station, the police launch a desperate search for his mum. It doesn't take long for their inquiries to lead them to Emily.

While baby Felix is placed in Maggie's care, the police and Social Services try and work out why Emily, a single mum, who has gone through fertility treatment to get pregnant, has suddenly resorted to abandoning her much longed-for child.

But it's only when Maggie wins her trust that Emily reveals the extent of her secret. Can Maggie help a desperate mother and her baby reunite?

From Britain's best-loved foster carer, a new and inspiring true story of secrets and hope.

Another brilliant Maggie Hartley book. This one was really heart-rending but it was also inspiring to listen to.

My comments:

I could not put this book down from start to finish, it was an amazing story however very sad. I loved the way Maggie supported both Emily and Felix and wanted what was best for them. There are a few of her books now where she has not just supported the child however helped the birth mother too which have always been lovely stories.

Emily's story shows you can't always judge a book by it's cover as you never know what someone might be going through. The write outcome occured in this book for sure. Really sad and informative.

Sad and emotional but lovely story.

It falls short compared to her others. The narrative feels underdeveloped and lacks any depth, with nothing beyond the main story, which itself isn’t substantial enough to carry a full book. As a result, it feels unusually short for a memoir. Disappointing.

Dull

The worst of her books . Hardly anything to hear . And I like Maggies Books but a story to write for writing sake

Lack of story
