Wicked Girl

Look out for the first book by a new voice in fostering
I’ve read a lot of fostering nonfiction and I was excited by this new author. I was very impressed. Jeanie’s own story is woven in with the tales of Angela, then Susan - both teen mums but with very different circumstances. Jeanie writes very much like Rosie Lewis, and there’s a strong hint at the end that another book will follow! One to watch for sure.

I have always read Cathy glass and enjoy her style of writing so was expecting this book to be similar and in many respects it was!
It’s very sobering to be reminded of the stigma and abuse that took place here and in Ireland not so very long ago and the long term repercussions it had for so many! However foster carers do so much valuable work to help these poor damaged children experience normal family life and feel safe and loved whilst in their care and it is truely heartwarming to read their success stories.
Thank you net galley for this early read.

Based on the true stories of some of the many children Jeanie and Bill and their own 3 children have helped over there years of fostering . This book covers two separate girls stories that manifested in completely different ways but the eventual outcome was a good. Although not necessarily an enjoyable read it was nevertheless written in an easy style.
I look forward to reading more of Jeanie and Bill's accounts.
