There was only one man Sammy could turn to…

With his young mother in and out of prison, Sammy has been in care since he was nine years old. Left feeling entirely alone, he has never had a proper safe haven.

There is one person looking out for Sammy: his neighbour, ‘Uncle Kenny’. But while Sammy may turn to Kenny for comfort, alarm bells soon start to ring for experienced foster carer Casey Watson…

Will Casey be able to save Sammy before it’s too late?

Perfect for readers who were moved by Casey's previous titles Little Girl Lost, I Want My Daddy, and I Just Want to Be Loved – powerful true stories of vulnerable children, resilience, and the life-changing impact of foster care.

Casey Watson, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer. She and her husband, Mike, look after children who are particularly troubled or damaged by their past. Before becoming a foster carer Casey was a behaviour manager for her local comprehensive school. It was through working with these ‘difficult’ children – removed from mainstream classes for various reasons – that the idea for her future career was born. Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren.
