Description

About the Author Cathy has been a foster carer for over 25 years, during which time she has looked after more than 100 children, of all ages and backgrounds. She has three teenage children of her own; one of whom was adopted after a long-term foster placement. The name Cathy Glass is a pseudonym. Cathy has written 16 books, including bestselling memoirs Cut, Hidden and Mummy Told Me Not To Tell.

Features & Highlights

  • Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency.
  • The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying.
  • When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet – a result of being left for long periods in his cot.
  • Cathy and her family find Jamey very easy to love, but as he settles in and makes progress, a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown change everything.

Political remarks in a foster memoir - seriously?

I am a huge fan of Cathy Glass’s books, however this one was surprising. Bringing in American politics (that she knows nothing about) - ie BLM and George Floyd - to a British book, is insulting. It creates unnecessary division and hatred. I always believed Cathy to be a sensible lady, but after a few lines from this book, I do wonder if she naively believes everything she reads on the news.
