About this listen

'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.

Deeply Moving

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

Dull

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.
