Eden’s Story (Thrown Away Children)
£6.20
Ashley is a young single mum raising her daughter, Eden, and working hard to do the very best job she can – until one night she can’t find a babysitter and makes the decision to leave Eden home alone for a couple of hours, asleep inside a wardrobe. It is an action that begins a terrible downward spiral for both of them.
When Eden arrives at experienced foster carer Louise Allen’s home, she has entered the care system because her mother is in prison. Eden is five years old and will not speak to any human. She begins exhibiting some other disturbing behaviours alongside the mutism, too, including torturing the family pets she loves. This eventually leads Louise to discover the pain and tragic reality behind Eden’s Story.

As per, Louise tells Eden’s story perfectly. It is emotional and moving, however, Louise manages to add some of her own humour and whit to the book which is definitely always welcome!

Eden’s story again gives the reader an insight into the many facets of our care system. From the parents story, the child’s story, the foster carers story and the professionals stories all woven together to provide the us with insight into the complex world of carers and a child. Louise does this with insight, compassion and humour.

I have read all of the books from The Thrown Away Children collection,but this one for some reason hit me the hardest.I could literally visualize Eden.Louise is so honest of her feelings at all times including her dealings with the necessary authorities.

Wow!!. I ordered this book on kindle last night and just knew I would not be able to put it down.. And I couldn’t, until I read the whole book! (03:30am).
I recommend that you have lots of tissues handy because you will cry when Louise crys in the book, you will also laugh and smile with her too!
Without giving anything away.. Another truly amazing book written by a truly amazing and inspirational lady!.
