From the acclaimed pen of No.1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a poignant and heart-wrenching tale of abuse and survival.

Small children, with their tender minds and vulnerable spirits, find themselves powerless in the face of the tumultuous journey that life presents them. Even before they have taken their first steps or uttered their first words, they are already being molded and shaped into obedient beings, ready to follow the orders of those around them.

Daisy's story begins when her parents, driven by the desire for a better life, make the decision to relocate their family halfway across the world, to the vibrant land of Australia. It is a decision that leaves Daisy's heart heavy with sorrow, as she bids farewell to her beloved grandparents, the only constants in her life. Stepping into an unfamiliar world, she clings tightly to her older brother, relying on their unbreakable bond to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.

However, fate seems determined to test the strength of Daisy's family. Tragedy strikes again and again, casting a shadow over their lives. As Daisy struggles to cope with the loss and the pain that surrounds her, her close relationship with her disabled brother becomes her lifeline, offering her solace and support in the face of adversity.

But the darkness that looms over them refuses to dissipate. After her parents' split and the introduction of her new stepfather into their lives, Daisy finds herself alone in a vast expanse of wilderness, surrounded by nothing but the vastness of nature. In this desolate setting, her only desire is to return home, to the loving embrace of her grandparents and the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

This is Daisy's true story, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love. It is a story of fear, of abuse, and of the indomitable will to survive. It is a story that will touch the hearts of readers and remind them of the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for the rights of those who are marginalized and vulnerable.
