Klappentext 'A moving story that testifies to the redemptive power of love. I hope Angela Hart inspires many others to foster' Torey Hayden, Sunday Times bestselling author Vicky stared through the windscreen, her eyeballs glazed like marbles. She was sitting completely rigid in her seat, frozen with fear. I took a deep breath and then asked Vicky, as gently as possible, if she was alright. 'I'm here, right beside you, Vicky. Can you hear me? I'm here and I can help you. ' She still didn't respond in any way at all. Her normally rosy cheeks had turned ivory white and the expression of terror on her face was like nothing I'd seen before: I had never seen a child look so scared in all my life. 'Take a deep breath, love. That's what I've just done. Just breathe and try to calm yourself down. You're with me, Angela, and you're safe.' Vicky seemed all self-assurance and swagger when she came to live with Angela and Jonathan as a temporary foster placement. As Vicky's mask of bravado began to slip, she was overtaken with episodes of complete terror. Will the trust and love Angela and her husband Jonathan provide enable Vicky to finally overcome her shocking past?
