About this listen

Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, rejection is all that 7-year-old Alex knows.

When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged 7, her immediate reaction is: Why can’t he stay with his present carers for the last month? He’s already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler and he’ll only be with her a short while before he goes to live with his permanent adoptive family. But the present carers are expecting a baby and the foster mother isn’t coping, so Alex goes to live with Cathy.

He settles easily and is very much looking forward to having a forever family of his own. The introductions and move to his adoptive family go well. But Alex is only with them for a week when problems begin. What happens next is both shocking and upsetting, and calls into question the whole adoption process.

I can't say enough how much I love these books by Cathy Glass, I often come to tears in my car as I'm listening on my drive and although I've read and listened to atleast 15 of Cathy's books It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful a person she is.
I will continue to read and listen to these stories until I've none left and I'm hoping that is a long way off.

I'm very pickh with the readers of the audio books I read and although it took me a.littke while to get used to her I now believe that the narrators voice and style of reading is perfect fit for Cathy's books.

my next read is ready to go "cruel to be kind" again Cathy

Cathy I do not know how you do it! Absolutely unbelievable! Alex's adoptive parents who gave up after two weeks should feel ashamed of themselves. I was glad he found his forever home and was so pleased to read his update on the website.

Seriously!
