Summary
Little Abby was suddenly removed from her adopted family before her fourth birthday, and placed in foster care hundreds of miles from home - with no explanation. When foster mum Louise opens the front door, she experiences the first uncomfortable shock: it's clear Abby has symptoms of foetal alcohol syndrome. Her challenging behaviour soon turns the household upside down. How can one six-year-old unleash such a whirlwind of emotional and physical devastation? Louise is about to find out - and to unwittingly discover the darkness of incest, rejection and abuse in Abby's past. The second story in the 'Thrown Away Children' series by foster mum Louise Allen
