Sunday Times bestselling author and foster mum Louise Allen has just released her 10th book in the popular Thrown Away Children paperback series.

Louise is a campaigner for children in the care system and is an important voice in the inspirational memoir genre, telling the stories of children in her care.

Louise was a foster care child who underwent an unspeakably tough childhood with cruel foster parents in the 1970s who then adopted her and continued the abuse.

She firmly believes that there is hope for all children who have been abused and that children who experience trauma can go on to have good lives.

Now happily married with her own children, she also fosters children short and long term, and campaigns for the rights of children in care.

This led to her bestselling book series Thrown Away Children, which tells the stories of some of the children she has fostered and their often heart-breaking pasts. Names and some details are changed to protect identities.

The latest instalment is Willow's Story, where a young girl’s life is shadowed by secrets and lies…

When Willow arrives in the Allen household, curious things begin to happen. Who is the strange child dressed in outlandish clothes who refuses a mobile phone? What are the mysterious allegations that have been made about her?

Determined to find out Louise gets more than she bargained for, as she unravels the truth about Willow’s family background and uncovers some distressing secrets.
