The 32nd fostering memoir from international bestseller Cathy Glass

Struggling to cope with three young children, Janie turns to experienced foster carer Cathy Glass. Helping the family each morning, Cathy soon uncovers how dangerous their situation has truly become.

Riley and his two little siblings, Jayden and Lola, are not safe at home.

With all three children in her care, will Cathy be able to rebuild their lives – and Janie’s?

Intrigued

Loved this so much, love learning the intricacies of how scenarios played out. 😀😀😀 Excellent listen!

Just a tiny note to make things even better, Cathy for the love of all that’s Green, please stop saying Kitchen-diner, it was annoying, kitchen or downstairs would suffice! 💕💕💕

Well done Cathy and co 👏🏾

Released today; I started and finished in 1 day. Testament to this being another unputdownable book! Excellent story; convoluting in parts, but that leans into the authenticity of the story!

I'm pleased , Cathy that although you've part-retired from fostering you continue to use your expertise and wisdom, in a role of equal importance. And I'm sooo glad that you were able to help Janey at the end - as well as of course throughout - because I felt so upset when the relationship that you both had appeared to have been marred. That part of the story had me almost crying. But you know your boundaries and your duty and did the right thing in making that phone call when the children were put into an at-risk situation.
This story was well worth the wait 👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks! Xx

another fabulus Cathy Glass book.

another grate Cathy Glass book, really loved the way she tried hard to help Janie and her children. It was a really sad story specially as it's difficult when people go into a downwood spiral and attempt to do there best to rais there kids however just have not got the strength to make the changes required. Sometimes hard choices have to be made which is difficult however it's vital that what is best for the children is done.
