About this listen

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’?

The writing and the audio telling of the book was great. The speaker used accents and animation to distinguish between characters and as usual, Rosie’s writing evoked imagery and heartache. So happy for a good ending.

Amazing

I should have known I’d be triggered by this one. But I’m so glad that Rosie got the happy ending I could only dream of. I will continue to listen to her stories because they are heartfelt, honest accounts of what life is like for kids in care and the carers that support them and provide the love that they need to thrive.

Another heart wrenching story.
