Samenvatting

The first book in a series by foster mum Angela Hart who, along with her husband Jonathan, has fostered over fifty children in the past twenty-seven years.

'A moving story that testifies to the redemptive power of love. I hope Angela Hart inspires many others to foster' Torey Hayden, Sunday Times bestselling author Vicky stared through the windscreen, her eyeballs glazed like marbles. She was sitting completely rigid in her seat, frozen with fear. I took a deep breath and then asked Vicky, as gently as possible, if she was alright. 'I'm here, right beside you, Vicky. Can you hear me? I'm here and I can help you. ' She still didn't respond in any way at all. Her normally rosy cheeks had turned ivory white and the expression of terror on her face was like nothing I'd seen before: I had never seen a child look so scared in all my life. 'Take a deep breath, love. That's what I've just done. Just breathe and try to calm yourself down. You're with me, Angela, and you're safe.' Vicky seemed all self-assurance and swagger when she came to live with Angela and Jonathan as a temporary foster placement. As Vicky's mask of bravado began to slip, she was overtaken with episodes of complete terror. Will the trust and love Angela and her husband Jonathan provide enable Vicky to finally overcome her shocking past?

A Sunday Times bestseller, Terrified is the first book from well-loved foster carer Angela Hart.

It tells the emotionally devastating but ultimately uplifting true story of Vicky, a little girl who arrives on Angela's doorstep unwanted and unloved after suffering years of emotional abuse at the hands of her mother. Desperate never to return home, Vicky is haunted by many demons and waking nightmares.

This book tells the moving story of Angela's determination to set Vicky free.

'A no holds barred insight into the reality of looking after someone else's children. A remarkable story from a remarkable woman, it brought back a lot of memories for me.' – Casey Watson, author of A Dark Secret.

'A moving story that testifies to the redemptive power of love. I hope Angela Hart inspires many others to foster.' – Torey Hayden, author of Lost Child.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
