Her sister was in danger. Jazmin knew there was only one option if she wanted to make sure she was safe.
‘Come on, Pearl,’ she whispered. ‘Let’s get you out of here.’
Jazmin was only thirteen when she was taken into care, after asking to be removed from her mum herself. Tired and worn down by her mum’s drinking and relationships with men who would threaten Jazmin, she spent her teenage years in care. Now, at eighteen, she is finally settled with her own place and a job as a teaching assistant.
With an on-and-off relationship with her mum, Jaz can’t help feel concerned when she hears she is pregnant again. Desperate for a relationship with her new half-sister, Pearl, she is hopeful the baby will provide a second chance for her mum. But when history starts to repeat itself, Jaz is forced to step in and, with Maggie’s help, make a decision that will change the rest of her life…
From Britain’s most-loved foster carer, a new and incredibly inspirational short story of love for this Christmas.
