I found this rather a cop out on a story line & doubt very much this placement went that smoothly & she was placed into supported living accommodation that quick, so it would ideally have been nice to read more of each person's feelings & such like.. I feel I pre-ordered this book expecting it to be as long & descriptive as Maggie Hartly' other books but there was no note of how many pages this was so now I've finished it within probably 40min I feel cheated out of the book price when I usually I found this rather a cop out on a story line & doubt very much this placement went that smoothly & she was placed into supported living accommodation that quick, so it would ideally have been nice to read more of each person's feelings & such like..

I'm disappointed it wasn't a full story but all the best to Rebecca in her own place.

Barely a novella, but with multiple mistakes. Why is it so hard to proof-read and spellcheck a work that's less than 50 pages in length? I reported at least four errors in language, punctuation or repeated/missing text. In a story this short, that's not really acceptable. The story itself was barely more than basic, and rushed very quickly through what little there was to tell. Barely a novella, but with multiple mistakes.

I was expecting it to be longer I enjoyed reading about Rebecca my mum had a girl living with her in supported lodgings who had a sister with the same condition. We suspected she had it as well but was in denial. She found out a few years ago she does have it and sadly wasn't capable of caring for her baby girl.

Not To Blame. Maggie Hartley. A great short story that will captivate you from the start! Maggie has her hands full with 17 year old Rebecca ... In time Maggie realise not all is as it seems ... Is there a reason behind Rebecca’s outbursts ... Maggie is soon to find out the truth. A great fill-in book if you only have a short time and find it hard to put a book down!

My view I loved the book couldn't put it down hats off to Foster carers they deserve medals. They don't get the recognition they deserve thank you Maggie for another great book.

Alcohol Abuse Maggie Hartley writes excellent books about her adventures of becoming a Foster parent or carer as they are called in England. She specialized in hard to place teenage girls. When it comes to light that Rebecca's mother drank heavily while pregnant, Maggie does some research in Fetal Alcohol Abuse Syndrome. Once it is realized 17 year old Rebecca suffers from it a permanent solution is found.
