Available Now: Ten Things Every Foster Child Wishes You Knew
Part manual, part memoir, all heart.
A compelling reflection on years spent in foster care.
“This is a brilliant little book full of insights and practical advice , it reflects foster care from the child’s perspective and I would say a must read for every foster carer and practitioner. Whether beginning as a carer or years of experience this book is well worth reading , we are carers for over 16 years and would say it the best thing I have read in years.”
Available Now: Cast
A powerful and moving anthology of poems.
A testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
“A collection of poetry packed with powerful emotions – the helplessness and hopelessness of young lives lived in an existence where abuse and neglect ruled. The twists of conflict between love and hate, guilt and innocence. Yet these poems tell a story of survival. Among my favourites are Back against the Door, World of Silence, Just Breathe, and Cast which will leave you feeling uplifted.”
