Liza ，

Jacobs story is both heart-wrenching and heart warming in equal measure。 Jacob is a little boy who has been neglected for the first 5 years of his life before being found by an RSPCA inspector and subsequently taken into care。 He is written off by the doctors but his Social Worker has other ideas。As a survivor of the care system myself， who was not as lucky as Jacob， I wish I had a social worker like this， who was willing to fight and bend the rules to ensure Jacob got the care he needed and the Jacobs story is both heart-wrenching and heart warming in equal measure。 Jacob is a little boy who has been neglected for the first 5 years of his life before being found by an RSPCA inspector and subsequently taken into care。 He is written off by the doctors but his Social Worker has other ideas。As a survivor of the care system myself， who was not as lucky as Jacob， I wish I had a social worker like this， who was willing to fight and bend the rules to ensure Jacob got the care he needed and then a foster carer like Louise who gave him all the time and care he needed too。Jacobs story is sadly more common than people realise， and many like his first fostered who were only interested in the money （my own included）。 So I am glad Louise has written his story to make people aware。I would love to know how Jacob is doing now， Well written and engaging throughout。 。。。more

Jacob's Story by Louise AllenA hearbreaking story of children that are found living in extremely horrendous conditions ， and not being cared for in the way you'd expect for every child 。 Whilst parts of ' Jacobs ' story may be an amalgamation of other foster children stories， it doesn't take away the care & love and time spent on them by kind ， loving foster parents。It is not a book you can say you have enjoyed due to the suffering of children ， but it is a book that gives you an insight to the Jacob's Story by Louise AllenA hearbreaking story of children that are found living in extremely horrendous conditions ， and not being cared for in the way you'd expect for every child 。 Whilst parts of ' Jacobs ' story may be an amalgamation of other foster children stories， it doesn't take away the care & love and time spent on them by kind ， loving foster parents。It is not a book you can say you have enjoyed due to the suffering of children ， but it is a book that gives you an insight to the happenings of what fostering can all be about。Foster parents - I take my hat off to you。 。。。more

This is another book from Louise Allen telling the story of one of the many foster children that have passed through her doors。 Like many of the children that Louise and her husband foster， Jacob’s start in life is traumatic。 A story that reads like it’s from the 1950s not recent years。 However with the right support from dedicated social workers and a specialist foster carer， he goes on to thrive。 It’s not a book to read for amusement， but it’s definitely a powerful story。 Thank you Louise and This is another book from Louise Allen telling the story of one of the many foster children that have passed through her doors。 Like many of the children that Louise and her husband foster， Jacob’s start in life is traumatic。 A story that reads like it’s from the 1950s not recent years。 However with the right support from dedicated social workers and a specialist foster carer， he goes on to thrive。 It’s not a book to read for amusement， but it’s definitely a powerful story。 Thank you Louise and your family for everything you do to support children like Jacob – I just wish there were more Mary’s out there！ Disclosure: I received an advance reader copy of this book free via NetGalley。 Whilst thanks go to the author & publisher for the opportunity to read it， all opinions are my own。#JacobsStory #NetGalley 。。。more
