About this listen

When foster carer, Cathy Glass, is asked to foster Darcy-May, a two-day old baby, she is very concerned.

The baby is coming to her straight from hospital and will have no contact with her teenage mother, Haylea. Even more worrying, she will be brought to Cathy with a police escort as it’s vital her extended family don’t know where she is.

Abandoned at birth, Cathy and her family quickly bond with little Darcy-May although they have to accept she will eventually leave them to be adopted. But fostering is rarely straight forward, and when Haylea asks to see her baby a different story begins to emerge. It’s so alarming that even Cathy, a highly experienced foster carer, struggles.

I love Cathy Glass books, she’s an amazing lady who has done some amazing work looking after children when needed. Hayley sure was felt the worse as a child, I really hope she moved toward with her life and showed them she could move on. And little DM with her new loving family.

Haylea was so brave, so glad she found the strength to tell her story. Her story saved so many other not just her, she’s a hero in my eyes.

I love Cathy's books and have read them all. It shed light on important issues in the foster community and in child abuse. I love how Cathy always spins the stories to look at the silver lining. She is positive, but also realistic in her views.

I'd recommend any of Cathy Glass's books

Incredibly well written book about the true story of an abused 14 year old and the ensuing issues set in motion after she gave birth to a baby girl.
I am not an ignorant person but when you hear the dreadful things that happen to some children it’s absolutely mind boggling. A must read (or listen)

I was both shocked and saddened
