Summary
'It's okay, lovely,' I soothed. 'You let it all out.'
She sobbed and sobbed as all the fear came tumbling to the surface.
Foster carer Maggie Hartley is finally enjoying a well-earned holiday from fostering, savouring time with her brand new baby granddaughter. One night, though, the peace and quiet is interrupted by an urgent call from Social Services. A man has been stabbed, and Social Services need to find an emergency placement for his little girl.
Maggie is used to children arriving on her doorstep at all times of the day and night, but nothing can prepare her for the sight of eleven-year-old Nancy. The little girl arrives in her pyjamas, covered in blood, and mute with shock. With her mother missing and her father in intensive care, the police are desperate for answers.
Who stabbed Nancy's father? Where is her mother? And what is Nancy hiding about her seemingly perfect family? The longer Maggie spends with her little girl, the clearer it becomes that all is not as it seems. Can Maggie discover the terrible truth of what's been happening behind closed doors?
A true story of hope from Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, a foster carer for over 20 years.

Behind closed doors
Maggie shows in this book, how on the outside of our world things can look perfect to only find out how different it actually is on the inside. I can truly relate to so much of how Maggie describes what's going on. A heartbreaking and eye opening story to what can actually happen behind closed doors.
couldn't stop listening . penny read this book beautifully. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She doesn’t disappoint
I love Maggie Hartley’s books and she doesn’t disappoint with this one!
I find the storyline very gripping and I couldn’t stop listening when I first started ☺️
I hope there’s more to follow so I don’t need to wait to long for her next book 📖
