Summary
'Please help me,' he said in a small voice. 'Will you help me?'
Six-year-old Ralph has only been in the care system for three days and has already been rejected by three different foster carers. After hitting a teacher at his school and causing mayhem since he arrived four months ago, staff are unable to get a hold of his mum and her partner.
Social Services are called and when Ralph turns up at Maggie's house, she knows immediately it's going to be a challenge. Within a couple of hours, Ralph has trashed Maggie's house and spit on her face. After a nightmare first day though, Maggie notices that Ralph is limping and a hospital check reveals broken limbs and several injuries that are months and years old. Can Maggie help this troubled little boy who has been rejected by everyone in his life find his forever home?
From Britain's most-loved foster carer, a new powerful true story of abuse, family and hope.

Another good offering by this author.
I love every book I read by this author and this one was no acception. Ralph's story was so sad and it was terrible what he went through, Maggie however was very supportive to him and did not give up which was what he needed. I am glad he found his forever home and think he got the best case sinario for sure.

Well worth the wait. Magnificent ❤️
This was pre ordered, released today, and I've just finished ! Well worth the wait. I've listened to all of Maggie 's memoirs now and this one, somehow, topped them all. This beautiful beautiful boy ....... evil 'parents' .... so much vulnerability and fear. Rescued by the social services and Maggie's care and impeccable fostering. She truly 'fosters' the spirit of each and every child that she looks after and thank heavens she chose this career. I was also humbled to hear how she is also capable of - at rare times - struggling, because she is human. However, her strategies for pushing on are to introspect, and compare worse situations. I love her.
So very glad that you rescued this beautiful child, and set him up for a hopeful, loving future. Xxx

Very dull.
Waited ages for this but I’m disappointed to be honest. Far too much emphasis on pointless details, it’s one of those books that you won’t remember reading in the future. It was just a bit “Meh” felt as though it was rushed.
