Series: A Maggie Hartley Foster Carer Story

'They made me do it, it wasn't my fault!'

When three brothers come to live with Maggie, she knows that it's going to be challenging. They are all already struggling with rejection after their dad abandoned them, their mum having died several years before.

While four-year-old Billy is a delight, eleven-year-old Keegan is quiet and withdrawn, and teenager Cooper is a whirlwind of destruction. His behaviour at school is disruptive and Maggie struggles to get through to him, especially when he's in danger of being expelled.

But when a shocking discovery turns everything on its head, Maggie begins to realise that what she believed to be true is completely wrong.

Danger is lurking, but is it too late for Maggie to help?

From Britain's best-loved foster carer, a new and emotional true story of bonds, brothers and family.

Maggie Hartley has fostered more than 300 children while being a foster carer for over twenty years. Taking on the children other carers often can't cope with, Maggie helps children that are deemed 'unadoptable' because of their behaviour or the extreme trauma that they've been through. She's looked after refugees, supported children through sexual abuse and violence court cases, cared for teenagers on remand and taught young mums how to parent their newborn babies.
