About this eBook

A heartbreaking and shocking short story from foster carer Rosie Lewis.

Toddler Charlie falls from the second floor window of his tower block home while his mother is busy shooting up in their dirty council flat.

Laying alone on a pile of rubbish until concerned neighbours hear him whimpering, Charlie is taken to hospital by police officers who are unable to rouse his mother.

With a gash to his head, a terrified Charlie is delivered to foster carer Rosie Lewis’s home. As Charlie opens up about his past, a picture of the traumatic life the little boy has endured so far becomes clear.

Ratings and reviews

Would have liked more than 30 pages... great book and Rosie is a wonderful lady and I love what she's doing but maybe put 2 books in 1 as id thought id payed for something that would take me longer than 10 minutes to read.

Thought it would be a longer story and give more details, not really a book more like a booklet. The bits that I did read were very sad though.

Everytime i download this book it stops i would rate higher but wont as i cant even read it with out internet is there some way to get my money back
