O knihe

Femi is a part-time nurse and paramedic who in her spare time volunteers for the RNLI. She is also determined to be the best foster parent she can be, but when she's asked to look after Ahmed, a refugee from Syria, the dynamics in her home change dramatically. At seventeen, Ricky is Femi's oldest foster child. He has a quick temper and wants independence. Thirteen-year-old Albert is quiet and shy and when he's given the opportunity to be reunited with his birth father he becomes both confused and excited. When Lawrence, the new neighbour arrives, and befriends Ahmed, Femi begins to realise they are all united in tackling the heartbreak and demons from their pasts. Each one of them must take risks to pursue their own dreams but the outcomes in life are never as you expect. Will Femi have the perfect Christmas she desires? This is a story of love, friendship, growth and discovery that will leave you tingling with emotion. "Set in the fictional seaside town of Westbay, Kent, the book is both absorbing and addictive as it draws the reader in to the lives and minds of three teenage boys from diverse backgrounds and the bond that develops between them and their amazing foster mother. Another winner from Jan that will leave you wanting more." "I loved the relationships between Femi and all her children. The potential love between Femi and Lawrence, and not knowing how it was going to turn out, kept me turning the pages. I am loving this series."
