The Girl with the Suitcase: A Girl Without a Home and the Foster Carer Who Changes her Life Forever

Description

Why will nobody give little Grace a home? Foster carer Angela is determined to find the answer. Shunned by her mother, ten-year-old Grace has spent most of her childhood in care, moving from one foster home to the next. Each placement breaks down due to her 'disruptive' behaviour, yet Grace seems such a friendly and well-meaning little girl. Specialist foster carer Angela is determined to help end her heartbreak, but what is the key to saving Grace? The Girl with the Suitcase is the seventh book from well-loved foster carer and Sunday Times bestselling author Angela Hart. This is a true story that shares the tale of one of the many children she has fostered over the years. Angela's stories show the difference that quiet care, a watchful eye and sympathetic ear can make to children who have had more difficult upbringings than most.

Angela Hart, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer for children with complex needs. Angela has been a foster carer for over twenty-five years, during which time she and her husband, Jonathan, have looked after more than fifty children. Her books The Girl Who Wanted to Belong, Terrified and The Girl Who Just Wanted To Be Loved were top ten Sunday Times bestsellers.
