"A real eye opener a book you can't put down."

Review by Katrina on 30th November, 2010

Purchased on Mighty Ape

I cried and cried for this little boy. But one amazing woman Cathy Glass came to his rescue. Cathy is a lady who I admire who loves children when no one else will. I have read all her books and recommend them to anyone. I usually read one of her books in one sitting as they are hard to put down

Description

When Wayne arrives at Cathy's door aged 7 years old, he has already passed through the hands of four different carers in four weeks. As the details of his short life emerge, it becomes clear that to help him, Cathy will face her biggest challenge yet. Wayne is the last of six siblings to be fostered. Having been in care for four months his aggressive and disruptive behaviour has seen him passed from carer to carer. Although only 7, he has been excluded from school, and bites people so often that his mother calls him 'Sharky'. Cathy wants to find the answers for Wayne's distressing behaviour, but he has been sworn to secrecy by his mother, and will not tell them anything. As the social worker prepares for the final hearing, he finds five different files on Wayne's family, and is incredulous that he had not been removed from them as a baby. When the darkest of family secrets is revealed to Cathy, Wayne's behaviour suddenly starts to make sense, and together they can begin to rebuild his life.

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.
