Description

The 32nd fostering memoir from international bestseller Cathy Glass Mother to three young children and struggling to cope, Janie is considered at risk by the social services. At first, experienced foster carer Cathy Glass is brought in to help the family get ready for school each morning. But after Janie’s eldest, Riley, 7, is involved in a fight, he starts to stay with Cathy at weekends. Cathy soon learns how dangerous their situation has truly become. It is not long before all three children are brought temporarily into Cathy’s care, and she begins the slow process of rebuilding their lives – and Janie’s too.

Author Biography:

Cathy Glass is a pseudonym. She has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 100 children, of all ages and backgrounds. Cathy runs training courses on fostering for her local Social Services, and helps draft new fostering procedures and guidelines. Cathy has three teenage children of her own; one of whom, Lucy, was adopted after a long-term foster placement. Cathy has always had an interest in writing, combining fostering with occasional freelance journalism and commercial writing, usually when a particular issue stirs her passion. Before the success of Damaged she had written on health and social issues for the Guardian, the Evening Standard, Luton News, and the Hemel Gazette. She is also a published fiction writer, with poems and short stories published in a number of commercial magazines. Cathy’s books have been constantly in the best-seller charts since Damaged was published in 2007, having sold over 2 million copies across her titles worldwide.
