Nonfiction by Louise Allen
Foster carer Louise Allen takes in a thirteen-year-old girl called Willow in this story. Willow has been in the sole care of her mentally-challenged father for most of her life, and something is going wrong. It's up to Louise to figure out what exactly has happened, and how to help Willow.
(POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!)
But then it turns out that Louise will not be permitted to help, and instead she has to watch Child Services screw the child up further.
This book was terribly upsetting, and it makes it so much worse to know it's true. I may not be able to read any more of Louise's books; they are getting progressively more depressing...
I also read recently by this author: Marilyn's Story
