Description
How do you provide stability to a child rejected by her own family?
Honest and inspirational, The Girl with the Suitcase is a highly personal memoir from Sunday Times bestselling author and devoted foster carer Angela Hart.
Shunned by her mother, ten-year-old Grace has spent most of her childhood in care, moving from one foster home to the next. She seems friendly and well-meaning, yet each placement breaks down due to her 'disruptive' behaviour.
Follow Angela as she seeks to find the key to end Grace's heartbreak. A deeply moving account, The Girl with the Suitcase is a testament to the power of quiet care, a watchful eye and sympathetic ear.
Discover more inspiring stories from Angela Hart in The Girl Who Wanted to Belong and The Girl and the Ghosts.
