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 rags, which Cathy found out one morning was used to wash the floor, plus she would scrub her hands clean as she says to get the dirty of as she has duel heritageDonna had contact 3 times a week, and her mum would not talk to her if she did it was not nice thing,Donna also hit Paula Cathy own child and as all carers find hard when it there own family that get hurt you are all ways watching the child that did it,Donna use to come home from contact and would destroy her room plus she would tear up paper and put it all round her room as when she was at home she had to clean all the time,I am glad the Donna got the love and care from a real family and that she has now grown up into a lovely young lady Cathy Glass is a foster parent in Britain. I really liked Tory Hayden's books about her experiences as a teacher of emotionally disturbed children. This was great to see how these children are treated in another country. It was a very good read. I love the way the British use language. It was fun to notice the differences in American and British English. I really felt for this lovely and troubled child. It was nice that she included an epilogue so we could see how this child had grown.
Very good book about foster care. Makes you think about how good you have it and how bad it can be!

I don't know why I even read these books, I think it's voyeurism really.
