A TRUE STORY BY THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MAGGIE HARTLEY

Quiet and polite, obsessively neat, clean and tidy, eight-year-old Tom
is unlike any child Maggie has ever fostered before. Tom has been taken
into care following concerns that his dad is struggling to cope after
the death of Tom's mum. At first, Maggie doesn't know what to make of
this shy, nervous little boy who never cries and is terrified of getting
dirty. But as Tom's cleaning rituals start to get more extreme, Maggie
fears that there's something more sinister going on beneath the surface.


When she meets Tom's dad Mark, a stern ex-soldier and strict
disciplinarian, it's clear that Tom's life at home without his mummy has
been a constant battlefield.

Can Maggie help Mark to raise a son and not a soldier? Or will little Tom lose his daddy too?

An uplifting and ultimately redemptive story by Sunday Times bestselling foster carer Maggie Hartley. Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, Casey Watson, Angela Hart and Rosie Lewis.
