Angels in Our Hearts: A Moving Collection of True Fostering Stories

A moving collection of 6 short stories – Helpless, A Small Boy’s Cry, Two More Sleeps, Unexpected, Just a Boy and At Risk – previously available as individual e-shorts.

A collection of inspiring and emotive real-life short stories from foster carers Casey Watson and Rosie Lewis.

Sarah, a baby born to a crack-addicted mother on a freezing cold night in December.

Charlie, who fell from the second-floor window of his tower block home while his mother is busy shooting up in their dirty council flat.

Angell, left barely clothed beneath a park bench on a freezing cold day in winter.

Hope, abandoned as a new-born by a young woman traumatised by a dark secret.

Cameron, a sweet boy with a great sense of humour, who disappears after a disastrous and embarrassing family trip.

Adam, a fragile and anxious child, whose relationship with his mother starts to unravel.

Rosie Lewis is a full-time foster carer. She has been working in this field for over a decade. Before that, she worked in the special units team in the police force.

Based in northern England, Rosie writes under a pseudonym to protect the identities of the children she looks after.

Casey Watson, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer. She and her husband, Mike, look after children who are particularly troubled or damaged by their past.

Before becoming a foster carer Casey was a behaviour manager for her local comprehensive school. It was through working with these ‘difficult’ children – removed from mainstream classes for various reasons – that the idea for her future career was born.

Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren.
