Don't Leave Me Here: Saskia's True Story of Secrets, Kidnap and Abuse

By Maggie Hartley

A powerful, moving true story from Sunday Times bestseller, Maggie Hartley, Britain's most-loved foster carer

What possesses a mum to kidnap her own child? That's what Maggie asks herself when she's asked to foster 13-year-old Saskia.

Saskia has been the subject of a bitter custody battle between her parents, but when mum Rosa fears the courts are going to favour her ex-husband, James, she takes matters into her own hands. With Rosa facing criminal charges, and Saskia refusing to live with her dad, her future looks uncertain.

Will Maggie be able to step in and discover the bombshell that has torn this family apart?
