From the author of Number One bestseller Damaged comes the poignant and shocking memoir of Cathy's recent relationship with Tayo, a young boy she fosters whose good behaviour and polite manners hide a terrible past. Tayo arrives at Cathy's with only the clothes he stands up in. He has been brought to her by the police, but he is calm, polite, and very well spoken, and not at all like the children she normally fosters. The social worker gives Cathy the forms which should contain Tayo's history, but apart from his name and age, it is blank.

Yet another beautiful story

Publisher's Summary
Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency.
The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying.
When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet–a result of being left for long periods in his cot.
Cathy and her family find Jamey very easy to love, but as he settles in and makes progress, a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown change everything.

A lot about COVID!
So I’ve read all of Cathy’s books and loved them all! sadly here in New Zealand we have COVID everywhere at present, for the first time. It feels very stressful indeed. Reading is often an escape, but I have had to have brakes from reading , too much COVID!! And today my 14 year old tested positive! Wish me luck 🍀

Was good but not the best
I’ve read nearly all of Cathy’s books and love them. Unfortunately I felt like this one was way too much about covid, I know that this was all new when she wrote the story but listening to the book years after the start of covid was a bit boring, especially when she went into minor details about it all. I wish she focused more on the story of Jamey.
