I adore all of Cathys’ books. Each one is a beautifully written insight into a world of fostering kids from all backgrounds and a very real account of what one must go through as a foster carer.
A heartwrenching case for Cathy as she agrees to foster newborn Darcy-May. Cathy learns that Darcy-May's mum is only 14 so assumes the pregnancy is a result of an underage sexual relationship. As we all know, things are never that simple for a foster carer! I cried buckets reading about Darcy-May and Haylea (her mum). It really makes my blood boil! I admire all foster carers - they go through so much trauma with the young people they care for.

I binged read this book in just over 7 hours as Cathy Glass just hocks you into her book from the very beginning to the very end. This book was so sad and I really felt sorri for the baby and the mother involved in this story. Unfortunately the mother went through a horrible ordeal and ended up pregnant so both mother and baby needed to be put into care. The way Cathy writes about people in her book is so emotional and so beautifully as she makes sure the whole story gets told the best she can. I am so happy the baby Darcy May got a loving home with her new her adopted parents and that her mother is settled in long term foster care and trying to slowly get her life back onto track. Cathy still sees them both from time to time. I am so glad the bad and horrible people in this book got sent to prison and that the police are still looking into this case as there is far more to it sadly. Xxx

As usual, Cathy's books are amazing.
The story she tells here is heartbreaking and I cried and cried and cried.
I have nothing negative to say about Cathy and if you've never read her books, you're definitely missing out.
