About this ebook

ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN

OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING

CARER TO MORE THAN 150 CHILDREN

Betrayed. Exploited. Forgotten.

Can one boy overcome the odds stacked against him?

Tayo was surprisingly well-spoken boy when he arrived at Cathy's but something about his story didn't add up. Tayo has no past. Without a clear history, it would take time and persistence to discover the truth of Tayo's life before foster care.

Cathy will soon learn that behind the mystery and deception is a little boy with a haunting past – one he'd much prefer to forget.

Can Cathy gain Tayo’s trust and help him face the truth before it’s too late?

Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, especially readers of Damaged, Cut, Will You Love Me?, and A Terrible Secret.

Brilliant book with a real insight into the highs and lows of being a foster parent. My husband and I are soon to start our own fostering journey and these books have really helped us get an idea of what everyday life might be like.

Cathy Glass is an amazing lady, wish there was more like her. I've read nearly all her books, and can relate to quite a few of them. I didn't have much of a childhood, and these books have helped me immensely with my life and my head. Thank you Cathy Lots of love Debbie West x
