I was really worried the kiddos wouldn’t bond with their new parents but I’m so glad they were able. Heartbreaking.

I do not believe in the foster system because it seems that so many children are taken that shouldn't and so many that should stay in the home. And the horror stories of foster homes are astounding.
I will say that this is the saddest story I have ever heard. If all foster parents put in the effort that this mom does, it would definitely change my mind.

A very moving story. Hartley strikes me as a woman of great wisdom, which she has put into the service of healing damaged children.

This is the remarkable and sad story of brother and sister Evie and Elliot, who have been abused and neglected by their parents, they are only two and three years old. When they turn up on the doorstep of foster carer Maggie Hartley they are in desperate need of a bath and food. Straight away can Maggie can see how terrified these poor children are and immediately her heart goes out to them.
Maggie has been a foster carer for many years and has come across so many children who have been mistreated and neglected just like Evie and Elliot. Maggie now has the challenge of not only caring for Evie and Elliot, but she must find a way of establishing their trust.
Tiny Prisoners is a heartbreaking story of two beautiful children who to no fault of their own ended up in the fostering system. Thank goodness for people like Maggie, who give these children a secure home, love, caring and understanding all the things they never knew existed. This is not a book for everyone because of the subject matter, but it really is worth reading in my opinion. Recommended.
