The Hidden World of a Foster Girl

Sadie Harpur went through turbulent periods of high anxiety as a Foster child.  Suffering from learning difficulties, as a result of undiagnosed dyslexia, she was described as mentally below average and suffered bouts of depression, suicidal thoughts and was repeatedly bullied. She endured serious teenage problems, including self-harming, violent outbursts, zero self-esteem and eventual suicide of her much loved foster brother.  All his, before she found true happiness with her husband and their young family; her new found career as a special needs assistant and becoming a foster parent.

The Hidden World of a Foster Girl explores the life lived by a vulnerable modern Irish girl, as she saw it, and makes essential reading for all who care about our children and their future.

Sadie's tale is an inspirational story of one woman facing all that life threw at her, winning in the end through sheer guts, determination, honesty and love.
