Book

A Mãe Não Me Deixa Contar (2010)

Another superbly written work by Mrs Glass. It was impossible to put this one down though, in that the subject child Reece pulled at my heart strings while his mother, (not deserving of that title though), was such a villain. Mrs Glass has a way with words that makes you feel as though you are th...

Book

The Saddest Girl in the World (2009)

This was the first Cathy Glass book I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked getting to know the characters. It's so sad to know that her books are real stories based on the children she's fostered, because these kids are obviously not treated very well. I found myself not wanting to stop r...

Book

I Miss Mummy: The true story of a frightened young girl who is desperate to go home (2010)

While difficult to comment on personal accounts and true stories I thought this was the most disappointing Cathy Glass book so far. The monotony of her repeating her daily routine and outlining her worries continously got very old, very quickly. It would've been a lot better if she had at least b...

Book

A Menina Mais Triste do Mundo (2010)

This is a story of a 10 year old girl called Donna, she was taken from her mums care along with her 2 brother and placed into foster care,They were all placed together but Donna had to be moved and she ended up with Cathy and her ChildrenWhen unpacking all Donna stuff Cathy comes across a bag of ...

Book

Najsmutniejsze dziecko (2010)

Cathy glass has done it again, I get quite angry after I've read one of these books.. I pay £5-£6 and then I will have read it within 24 hours, it's so frustrating because I've remembered the story so well I never re-read the book.Before anyone thinks that I read Cathy's books quickly because of ...

Book

A Baby's Cry (2012)

I admit, I knew nothing about foster parenting. This book was an eye-opener. These are amazing people who take the responsibility of foster parenting. It's not only a huge moral responsibility, it involves a lot of physical effort and mental strength as well. Beside that there is this huge number...

Book

Quero a Minha Mãe (2012)

Iniciei a leitura deste livro com algum receio. Acredito que a leitura de uma história verídica deve ser feita numa altura em que se tenha um certo estado de humor para que se possa entender e afeiçoar à história da forma correcta. Nunca tinha lido nenhum livro desta autora, que tem um longo hist...

Book

The Night the Angels Came (2011)

This book is personal, emotional, full of strength and courage. Its a journey of a foster carer, and the parent of her foster child. Its a book of faith and hope. This is a journey about Cathy, a foster carer, her children, and Cathy's foster child, and his parent. Is about their friendship, rel...

Book

Another Forgotten Child (2012)

To read Aimee's story was quite an emotional thing for me. It reminds me that there are people out there that do not care for their children the same. This little girl was brought up with many things put into her mind that many children her age never ever saw. In Cathy's care I loved the transfor...

Book

My Dad’s a Policeman (2011)

Cathy Glass is a foster parent, so she writes this story based on experience. Ryan never knew his Dad, but he has to tell people something, and that something is in the title.

Book

Please Don’t Take My Baby (2013)

As I said before, this book seriously could have done with some editing. I can't believe all the fluff that was allowed through to the end printing. There were a few typos and unnecessary descriptions that made it aggravating to read at points. Anyway, that being said, this book was okay. I liked...

Book

What make me very sad and angry that despite concerns from Lucy's neighbours, teachers nothing was done t...

Book

Daddy’s Little Princess (2014)

A lot of mixed feeling by people about this book. I thought it was really good! I read a few reviews by people saying there is no way Paula could actually speak the way she does, given she is only 2. But my nephew is 2 as well, and sometimes he said things that you wouldn't expect from a 2 year o...

Book

The Child Bride (2014)

This was the standard Cathy Glass fare with a more sensational story. 14-year-old Zeena asked to be taken into foster care because she was being abused, but she wouldn't say who was doing the abusing. She was fostered by Cathy and her family for a few weeks before moving on to a safer place. I...

Cut

‘Whatever for?’‘Mike’s away, and Barbara doesn’t want to be alone over Christmas and the New Year,’ Ruth said.While I could appreciate Barbara’s need for company over the festive season, I was bitterly disappointed. Christmas is such a family time and, if I was honest, I viewed Dawn more as a mem...

Book

Saving Danny

As I greeted each of them, I asked if they’d had a good day, and then took them through to meet George. They were all as impressed as I was with George and stroked and petted him in his cage, and gave him tufts of grass to eat and then another carrot. Paula was keen to take him out for a run as I...

Book

Girl Alone: Joss came home from school to discover her father’s suicide. Angry and hurting, she’s out of control.

‘Incredible. The gall of the man, turning up like that!’ she said, as astounded as I was. ‘Had he been at home the whole time?’ ‘I think so. Should I phone the grandparents and tell them he’s been found?’ I asked. ‘No. Leave it to the social services. I’ll phone the duty s...

Book

Damaged

It was the first time we had spoken since I’d met her at the pre-placement meeting, and I was glad to hear from her. A good social worker can make all the difference on the case, and I was hoping that Eileen and I would have a supportive working relationship. ‘She threatens to make a mess if she ...

Book

The Girl in the Mirror

Having finished the painting of the church with its spire rising high into the blue sky and been reasonably pleased with it she now found she was blocked again. Propped on the table beside the easel was her sketch pad; she kept flicking through it for inspiration but none came. It was mid-morning...

I Miss Mummy

Alice had some understanding of the Guardian’s role in deciding her future, and had met Carole once before when she’d been living with her grandparents.

Book

Mummy Told Me Not to Tell (2010)

I got out the work sheets that I had only just packed away, we did some reading, writing and number work, and then we went for a walk by our local lake. I had tried to talk to Reece about what had happened at school, using the details the head had given me, but Reece just kept saying, ‘I’m sorry,...
