description: Collected from a career on the frontline of child protection rescuing children from terrifying situations on a near-daily basis these stories remain uplifting through the courage optimism and wonderfully warm sense of humor of Becky Hope. Among the stories is the remarkable transformation of nine year old Sarah who comes into Beckys life when she is beaten half to death by her mothers violent boyfriend. Then theres Liam a tall and gangly young teen who has cut himself off from the world after being thrown out of home by his drug-addicted mother when he was just ten years old. Becky also tells the story of Jade and Jasmine toddler twins who had been locked in a freezing bare room for weeks on end with just one filthy blanket to share. Sometimes these children are so vulnerable it becomes a situation of life and death and Becky has been there and taken them to a place of safety. Although some of the stories are at times heartbreaking Beckys determination that no child should be forgotten makes this remarkable book an unforgettable and inspiring read.
