Silenced : the shocking true story of a young girl too afraid to speak
Lewis, Rosie2022
Books
It's February 2019 and experienced foster carer Rosie Lewis has joined Mockingbird, a new fostering scheme designed to help families stay together. After her first week in post, the foster carer takes a call from a social worker in the Child Protection Team - Bonnie, mother of four children, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Her mother, Debbie, volunteers to care for her grandchildren, but social workers insist on providing outside support. Debbie seems warm and bubbly, looking after her grandchildren with love and care. But then Rosie notices nine-year-old Caitlin, who is lethargic and withdrawn; the child barely lifts her head when Debbie and Rosie visit. Rosie senses something's wrong but can't quite get to the bottom of it.
