About this ebook

Experienced foster carer, Rosie Lewis, takes on the heart-breaking case of Megan, a baby born with a drug addiction and a cleft palate.

Addicted to drugs from birth because of her mother’s substance abuse during pregnancy, new-born Megan is taken into Rosie’s loving care. Rosie is supposed to help Megan find her new permanent home, but it turns out that Megan has already found her ‘forever mummy’ in Rosie.

Rosie grows incredibly attached to Megan and applies to adopt her, but the system refuses her in favour of a young couple and Rosie is devastated. Against all her instincts, Rosie does her job and prepares Megan for her new ‘forever family’, but everything about Megan leaving feels wrong.

When Rosie learns a few months later that Megan’s adoption has broken down, she is saddened but also filled with hope – will this little girl be allowed to return to her true ‘forever home’?

Ratings and reviews

WOW!.... This book was amazing truly touched my heart ♥️ What an eye opener reading what some poor children have to go through 😓😓 That poor baby getting taken from all she ever knew and loved and placed with strangers really... I never imagined when babies get adopted that it would take so long with so much to it... Hats off to all the foster carers that have built bond's with babies from birth then have to seperate 2 or 3 years down the line #Heartbreaking!... 💔 Thank Goodness all worked out in the end for little Megan... Rosie writes so well I actually feel so drawn in I can't put her books down... Sounds such an amazing family and I can't wait to read more... All the best to dear little Megan and her wonderful forever family 🤗 Also hope birth Mum Christina is still doing well I had to giggle at her one liners in the book you can just picture it 🤣🤣🤣 This book deserve a 5 stars it's a must read 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍

I was gripped from beginning to end. What an emotional rollercoaster this story is, made all the more poignant knowing it's true. Cried and laughed out loud many times. What a life Rosie Lewis has lived 😍😍

This story was both heart breaking and heart warming. Rosie is definetly an author I will be getting more books from in the future.
