In our final episode of the season, we meet Frankie. Frankie talks to Shan about working in out-of-home care for nearly half her life.   Frankie shares some cracking tales from her time here, but then things turn dark when the industry she loves spits her out under a cloud of allegations.   Then she is ignored and abused by a system designed to protect and care. Frankie almost paid the ultimate price ending in her being admitted to a   psychiatric unit where she started writing her observations and started sending them to her closest friend, who told her to send them to Shan...So she did.
