About this ebook
After Sally has lived in care for over twenlve years, someone has come forward and says she would like to be Sally's foster mother, and Sally can’t be happier. It was the young and prettiest who got chosen as a rule. Sally has never been called pretty but she knows how to look after herself, that is until Ivy Webster comes into her life. Being told to go to her room whenever she has been disobedient is one thing, but a backhanded slap for no reason is another. Sally wants to run away, but there's no place to go... until a boy called Adam comes into her life.

Chapter 1
Sally was excited but at the same time apprehensive. After spending over twelve years in care someone had finally come forward and said they would like to be her foster parent. Who that was she had no idea; the only thing she did know was the person in question had been accepted, and passed, as a suitable foster parent.
Sat on a chair, a carpet bag holding her few worldly possessions at her feet, Sally waited for that person to arrive. She glanced, not for the first time, at the wall clock. Nine-fifteen was still early and she’d been told to be ready and waiting by 10 am. She’d been ready and waiting since eight.

Sally had never been what one would call a pretty child, and more than once she’d been described as willful, disobedient, by the nuns.
