Zusatztext Praise for Angela Hart: A true tear-jerking tale of love and compassion. Informationen zum Autor Angela Hart, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer for children with complex needs. Angela has been a foster carer for over twenty-five years, during which time she and her husband, Jonathan, have looked after more than fifty children. Her books The Girl Who Wanted to Belong, Terrified and The Girl Who Just Wanted To Be Loved were top ten Sunday Times bestsellers. Klappentext 'Angela Hart is a remarkable woman.'
