A new challenge confronts foster carer Maggie Hartley: this time, it's her mother, Hailey, who is at risk. Maggie must help Hailey escape her abusive husband and reunite her with her baby daughter. When six-week-old Jasmine arrives in Maggie's care, she is thrilled to have a baby again. Jasmine's temporary custody follows concerns from social services about her development. Under Maggie's nurturing, Jasmine thrives into a healthy, happy baby, but Hailey's struggles become more evident. Timid and withdrawn, Hailey seems burdened by something deeper. One night, Maggie finds Hailey battered and broken on her doorstep. Hailey reveals years of abuse from her husband, complicating the situation further: she cannot regain custody of Jasmine while he remains in her life. The story explores whether Hailey can summon the strength to leave her abuser. This poignant narrative, told by Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, offers an uplifting and redemptive journey, making it a compelling read for fans of Cathy Glass, Casey Watson, Angela Hart, and Rosie Lewis.
