Eve Ainsworth is a working class award-winning and Carnegie nominated children's author who has written for both middle grade and teen readers. She has vast experience working as a public speaker and creative workshop coordinator for schools, libraries and other events both nationally and internationally. She also is an experienced mentor and is very passionate about helping those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Alongside writing, Eve is also a trained Safeguarding Lead working with young people, schools and families. Eve is fiercely proud of her working class roots and her large, loud family. She lives in Crawley with her husband, two young children and crazy pets.
When Amy is sent to live with her new foster family, the Dawsons, she feels like an outsider and is sure that this placement will break down - just like all the others.
But slowly she realises the Dawsons are patient and kind, and they really seem to want her there. She even finds a friend in their son, Kenny.
Can Amy let herself believe she's found her forever family, or will ghosts from the past stop her from trusting anyone again?
