The brand new, long awaited book from the multi-million-copy bestselling author Cathy Glass. ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN. OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING. CARER TO MORE THAN 150 CHILDREN Late on Boxing Day night Cathy hears a strange noise outside her house. She is in bed and gets up and looks out of the window but she can't see anyone. She goes downstairs and gingerly opens the front door to find a teenage huddled in her porch. 'I'm Lily,' the girl says, her teeth chattering from the cold. 'I stayed here years ago for two weeks.

' Cathy is dumbstruck and stares at her in utter disbelief. And so begins Lily's story which is far from easy to tell. She has fallen through the cracks in the social care system and has ended up on a virtual stranger's doorstep in the middle of the night. What was Cathy to do with her? She hadn't a clue, but then Lily shares a secret and Cathy tries to help her as best she can.
