Casey Watson takes on one of her most challenging placements yet when she welcomes a young girl whose desperate need for affection masks deeper emotional wounds. Struggling with abandonment and rejection, the child's behaviour tests Casey's patience and expertise to their limits as she acts out in increasingly difficult ways.
This compelling true story explores the complex world of foster care, where children arrive carrying invisible scars and carers must find ways to break through defensive walls. Watson's honest, heartfelt account reveals both the heartbreak and small victories that come with trying to help a child who has learnt not to trust adults, offering an unflinching look at what it truly takes to make a troubled youngster feel safe and valued.
