By night, her father, the one person who should have protected her, subjected her to appalling abuse. When 11-year-old Ruth arrives at foster carer Maggie Hartley's home, she's a little ghost of a girl, haunted by these unspeakable memories. Damaged, withdrawn and underfed, Ruth has been robbed of her childhood, her identity...and she's looking for someone to blame. Despite 30 years of experience, it takes every ounce of Maggie's knowledge, patience and compassion to reach the little girl trapped in Ruth's shell. But can Maggie free Ruth from her demons?"--Back cover. Vorwort A powerful, moving true story from Sunday Times bestseller Maggie Hartley, Britain's most-loved foster carer.
