Om denne bog

Fourteen-year-old Shazia has been taken into care after a conversation at school leads her teacher to suspect that the teenager''s family are planning to send her to Pakistan for an arranged marriage. To her family''s fury, Shazia is sent to live with foster carer Maggie Hartley whilst social services investigate. But with Shazia denying everything and social services unable to find any evidence to support the teacher''s fears, Shazia is allowed to return home.

But a few weeks later, Maggie is woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call from a terrified Shazia, who has managed to escape the family home through a window. Sobbing, she confesses to Maggie that her parents are planning to send her to Pakistan to be married in a few days, and have threatened to kill her if she speaks out again.

Returned to Maggie''s care, Shazia is petrified that her parents will track her down and kill her, and Maggie must be on constant alert. But the worst is yet to come when it emerges that Shazia is the victim of FGM. Can Maggie help this damaged and traumatised young girl understand what has happened to her and to find a way to heal?

A true story of hope from Sunday Times bestselling author Maggie Hartley, a foster carer for over 20 years.

''I''ve always enjoyed Maggie Hartley''s fostering stories, but this is without doubt her best'' 5* Amazon reader review
