About the book
This is the true story of an adoption and an adoption breakdown, bravely told by the adoptive mother. From the final court hearing, when Lucy returned to local authority care, Karen Carr looks back over the four years Lucy was with them and, without apportioning blame, describes what went wrong and why. She doesn't spare herself, her family or the social workers, and she paints a touching picture of Lucy at the centre of events which she triggers but cannot understand. This is a tale of loss and regret, but also courage, generosity and self-discovery.
