Rio Hogarty’s story of her life in fostering A Heart So Big combines the heart-warming nostalgia of Mollie Moran’s Aprons and Silver Spoons with heart-breaking stories of children whose lives were blighted by being unloved and uncared for in the style of Cathy Glass.Nearly seventy years ago Rio started to do her bit for vulnerable children one child at a time. While she was still in school she thought nothing of bringing home a schoolmate who needed refuge. It was the start of opening her home and her heart to children in need. And she has never stopped.A Heart So Big is the astonishing and moving story of Rio’s life and how she has tried to make a difference. She has fostered over 140 children and in 2010 in an award created especially for her she was named Mother of the Year at the annual People of the Year Awards.It includes stories of trauma - Rio has rescued children from the direst of circumstances and seen the price they pay for the failures of adults. And Rio has had her share of heartache along the way.

She’s also fearless.’ The Herald
