Maggie Hartley is one of the UK''s most prolific foster mothers. This inspiring collection includes three heartbreaking, true short stories about the children who have passed through Maggie''s care.

TOO SCARED TO CRY
When Ben and Damien arrive on Maggie''s doorstep, the two toddlers are too scared to speak. More disturbingly still, their baby half-brother Noah is completely unresponsive - he doesn''t smile or play or crawl. The three siblings have been conditioned to be seen and not heard, and it''s up to Maggie to unpick what has caused this terrible void.
