<p><b>The true story of runaway child with a secret. A devastating discovery that changes everything.</b><br><br>Melissa is a sweet-natured girl with a disturbing habit of running away and mixing with the wrong crowd. After she’s picked up by the police, and with nowhere else to go, she is locked in a secure unit with young offenders. Social Services beg specialist foster carer Angela to take her in, but can she keep the testing twelve-year-old safe? And will Angela ever learn what, or who, drove Melissa to run and hide, sometimes in the dead of night?<br><i><br>The Girl in the Dark</i> is the sixth book from well-loved foster carer and <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author Angela Hart. This is a true story that shares the tale of one of the many children she has fostered over the years.
