A particularly timely and relevant tale from Casey Watson, who is a specialist foster carer and author. Casey agrees to foster 14 year old Adrianna from Poland, Adrianna has no one to care for her, no belongings, and no explanation of how she came to be in the country, can Casey get to the bottom of her emotionally thorny tale? Casey writes under a pseudonym, she has a simple, yet effective style of writing where she explains acronyms, highlights her own thoughts and feelings, yet tells the story of the children and people within her care. Adrianna’s pain and confusion vibrated off of the page and Casey’s love and attention are clearly felt. ‘Runaway Girl’ provokes thoughts and feelings about our system of social care and responsibility, and made me thankful that people like Casey Watson exist in our society. ~ Liz Robinson
