At the young age of 17, Laura is pregnant and naïve. Upon welcoming her little boy, CJ, into the world life isn’t as perfect as she’d hoped, and she ends up a single mother. Falling into the arms of someone from her past; Laura is soon swept up in a monsoon when her 5-month-old son is unexpectedly injured and social services step in and take him from her care.

Trapped in an abusive marriage and pregnant for a second time, will Laura find the courage to walk away, when doing so means she will lose another son? Will there ever be a future for Laura as a mother? Or will loss follow her at every turn?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow- a thought provoking book!

As a social worker who has worked in child protection and now working in adoption assessment I found this book so thought provoking! I read it within two days, easy to read / well written book. I have listened to Laura and Peggy’s podcasts as I have a passion to help potential adopters develop empathy and understanding for birth parents. I feel passionately that contact between birth parents and adopted children needs to change and be more than old fashioned letterbox contact- this book reinforced that view. Every social worker and potential adopter should read it! Well done Laura and Peggy

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful but heartbreaking read

This was a book I wanted to read, and yet not. I did not realise it was a true story when I started to read it, but found it compulsive for my attention wanting there to be a different outcome at each page turn until the end. My heart goes out to the author who so profoundly describes her journey. Good luck to her. A must read. Congratulations for a brave soul, the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book I didn't know I needed. Amazing.

I'm a birth mother impacted by forced adoption, I came across this book after following twogoodmums on Instagram at a time which coincided with me writing my annual letterbox contact with my birth son. Despite now having two subsequent children in my care with no social services involvement I'm still affected by the trauma of forced adoption and yearn for the direct contact that Laura and Peggy have built between them. This book, which I didn't put down for 8 hours straight, gave me comfort and hope on a day that I needed some. Ladies, you're incredible.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important book for adopters and social workers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2021

This is an inspiring and beautifully told story about love, loss, resilience and hope. Laura gives an honest and courageous account of her experiences of the loss of her 2 boys to adoption and later experiences of recovery and parenting. The relationship that Laura and Peggy have built up in the interests of their children is really remarkable and more social workers and adoptive families need to hear about this way of navigating "contact" post-adoption.
