Know My Place

When Amy is sent to live with her new foster family, the Dawsons, she feels like an outsider and is sure that this placement will break down - just like all the others.
But slowly she realises the Dawsons are patient and kind, and they really seem to want her there. She even finds a friend in their son, Kenny.
Can Amy let herself believe she's found her forever family, or will ghosts from the past stop her from trusting anyone again?
