Summary

The heartbreaking true story of a young, troubled mother who needed help.

The 16th fostering memoir by Cathy Glass.

It is the first time Laura has been out since the birth of her baby when Cathy sees her in the school playground. A joyful occasion, but Cathy has the feeling something is wrong. By the time she discovers what it is, it is too late.

This is the true story of Laura, whose life touches Cathy's in a way she could never have foreseen. It is also the true stories of little Darrel, Samson and Hayley, whom she fosters when their parents need help. Some stories can have happy endings and others cannot, but as a foster carer Cathy can only do her best.

Not really a page turner

I was a little disappointed with this book. I have read all of Cathy's books but this one didn't really grip me like the others did. I would say this is not worth the price.

Heart broken stories

So many children so many problems that kind hearted Kathy dealt with in ‘The Silent Cry’ and she never forgot her own family. Poor Samson he was a jolly fighter.

Not what I expected

The story was about a neighbour than of a child. Had to return for this reason. This was the least favourite of the Cathy Glass books I have read.
