'It's all my fault, I was supposed to be looking after her!'

After suffering domestic abuse from her boyfriend, teen mum Sherrie has her four-month-old daughter Maisy sent to live with Maggie. Torn between being protective of Maisy and heartbroken for Sherrie, Maggie is unsure what to do.

In the meantime, Maggie meets fourteen-year-old Kayla, in need of short-term foster care after her mum is sectioned. Though Kayla is quiet and polite, Maggie soon realises the deep trauma and responsibility she has had to carry.

As Kayla finds herself drawn into a relationship with an older and increasingly controlling boy, Sherrie returns to her abusive relationship. Can Maggie help protect Maisy and Kayla, or will it be too late?

From Britain's best-loved foster carer, a new and inspiring true story of abuse and hope.
