About this listen

The true story of Melody, aged 8, the last of five siblings to be taken from her drug dependent single mother and brought into care.

When Cathy is told about Melody’s terrible childhood, she is sure she’s heard it all before. But it isn’t long before she feels there is more going on than she or the social services are aware of. Although Melody is angry at having to leave her mother, as many children coming into care are, she also worries about her obsessively – far more than is usual. Amanda, Melody’s mother, is also angry and takes it out on Cathy at contact, which again is something Cathy has experienced before. Yet there is a lost and vulnerable look about Amanda, and Cathy starts to see why Melody worries about her and feels she needs looking after.

When Amanda misses contact, it is assumed she has forgotten, but nothing could have been further from the truth…

I have read MANY of C.Glass books but this one was pretty straight forward with not many bumps. I did cry a couple times but there wasn't much else going on. It's just real life going on for noone's entertainment. lol

A bit uneventful

Once again, Cathy Glass shows just how amazing she is. To visit a foster child’s mother, just because no-one else will. A heartbreaker, but with the most beautiful twist at the end.

Another Cathy Glass special.

Another amazing story that shows the strength and unconditional love that children have for their parents. A sad story but at the same time I was so pleased that Melody was no longer living on the streets and that her mother at least was comfortable as she passed away. Cathy is a true hero and an absolute angel.

Heartbreaking
