Fractured - Paperback

by Gemma Frances (Author)

Social Workers: overworked, under-resourced, misunderstood. Still showing up.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to work with some of the nation's most vulnerable children and families?

Jenny Hurst is a Child Protection Social Worker entrusted with the Season children. Can she support this family to stay together, without falling victim to her own burnout?

Lisa Season only ever wanted to be a mum. Is the prospect of having her children permanently removed enough to motivate her to make the changes necessary to avoid losing them?

All Autumn Season wants is to be part of a normal family, like her best friend, Starr. Will her mum do what it takes to keep Autumn and her siblings together?

Fractured is a novel informed by the authors' experiences of working in child protection social work in the UK and Australia.
