Publisher's Summary
In her brand-new series Thrown Away Children, Louise Allen shares the harrowing stories she is exposed to as a foster mother. The first in the series, Stella's Story, tells the astonishing true story of a young girl scarred by an abusive past.
Named after the lager that christened her at birth, Stella's life is characterised instability and neglect. Her teenage mother abandons her in the first few weeks of her life, and left in the 'care' of her father, she ends up lying deserted in a house with no food, no water, no clothes and no warmth.
She eventually lands in the care of foster carer Louise, who is determined to change her life for the better. Things seem to be going well - but when Stella has a startling response to having her photo taken, it becomes clear the scars of her abuse run deeper than anyone could have ever guessed.

Louise, you are but just a brilliant author, but an incredible human. Thank you for opening our eyes to the trauma experienced by many children, and the invaluable gift of loving, determined foster carers .

Heartbreaking but beautiful story
So invested in this story from the first words. I cried for this poor little girl. Great book. Foster carers need a special place in heaven.

Just So Sad.
What a tragically sad story. There are people in this world that should be locked up & the key thrown away. Either that or bring back capital punishment!! I just hope Stella manages to put the trauma behind her. Hypnotherapy might help her forget. Louise is doing a mighty job looking after children like Stella.
