Please Don’t Hurt Me by Maggie Hartley — a powerful, moving true story from the Sunday Times bestselling author and Britain’s most-loved foster carer. Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass.
Fourteen-year-old Kayla comes to live with Maggie after her mum is sectioned due to an ongoing battle with her mental health. Despite everything she has endured at home, Kayla is doing remarkably well. She’s succeeding at school, has a close circle of friends, and has started seeing her first boyfriend, Harry.
When the relationship suddenly ends, Maggie expects to support Kayla through ordinary teenage heartbreak. Instead, things take a sinister turn. Wherever Kayla goes, Harry seems to be there. What begins as an uneasy coincidence soon escalates into something far more dangerous — for Kayla and for Maggie herself.
As the threat grows, Maggie must fight to keep her young charge safe while uncovering the truth behind the escalating danger. Is it already too late?
From the foster carer who has cared for more than 300 children, Please Don’t Hurt Me is another gripping, compassionate true account of the hidden challenges and quiet courage involved in protecting vulnerable young lives. A story of secrets, resilience, and the power of determined care.
