The Girl Who Wanted to Belong
The Girl Who Wanted to Belong: The True Story of a Devastated Little Girl and the Foster Carer who Healed her Broken Heart | Angela Hart
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Lucy is eight years old and ends up in foster care after being abandoned by her mum and kicked out by her new stepmother. Two aunties and then her elderly grandmother take her in but it seems nobody can cope with Lucy’s disruptive behaviour. Social Services hope a stay with experienced foster carer Angela will help Lucy settle down. She misses her dad and three siblings and is desperate for a fresh start back home, but will Lucy ever be able to live in harmony with her stepmother and her stepsister – a girl who was once her best friend at school? The Girl Who Wanted to Belong is the fifth book from well-loved foster carer and Sunday Times bestselling author Angela Hart. A true story that shares the tale of one of the many children she has fostered over the years. Angela's stories show the difference that quiet care, a watchful eye and sympathetic ear can make to those children whose upbringing has been less fortunate than others.

I didn't expect to read this so quickly but once I started I just had to keep reading. I needed to know what would happen to Lucy and if she would go home or not. It's heart wrenching for much of the story but there are some really warming, sweet moments. The story is well written and very honest. Angela is always fair and reasonable in her telling of the story. The ending was good too and I'm so glad there was a resolution to the story

The story of a girl who ends up in the foster care system who wanted to go home to her family. A brilliant insight as to how the foster parents Angela and Jonathan fought for Lucy and were there supporting her as she encountered disappointments and set backs. Really touched my heart
