Synopsis

‘I’m so sorry, Casey,’ my link worker John said, sounding weary. ‘I know this is probably the worst time I could ring you, but we desperately need someone to take a child tonight.’ It’s the night before Christmas when Casey and Mike get the call.

Despite claiming she attacked him in self-defence, she’s been charged with his attempted murder. The girl is called Bella, and she’s refusing to say anything. The trouble is that she is also the only witness…

About Casey Watson

Casey Watson, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer. She and her husband, Mike, look after children who are particularly troubled or damaged by their past. Before becoming a foster carer Casey was a behaviour manager for her local comprehensive school. It was through working with these ‘difficult’ children – removed from mainstream classes for various reasons – that the idea for her future career was born. Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren.
