Ratings and reviews

A wonderful book, that let's you see what is really like for some people going through social services. And just how hard it is for some growing up. And how hard it can be trying to keep hold of your children when there in the grip of social services. Well worth a read.

I agree with Tom Lunt, $2 for 30 pages is not worth it and read in less than 30minutes. Need longer books before I start buying from Rosie again.

I agree Lorraine atkin there real story's about real troubled kids how long does it have to be? Rosie I think personally gives you enough information to make you feel like your there part of it I wish I could just scoop all these kids up and tell there loved no matter what x
