This was so uncomfortable to read, which is a good thing. It means it was honest on an issue that’s overlooked until it escalates past the point of no return. I’m so glad it ended well for this family.

The story is from early stages of Cathy's journey of being a Forster carer, the story of the child with a happy ending but then ending of Cathy's life as a wife

I absolutely love Cathy Glass as usual. She allows you to discover in depth the difficulty of children living in foster care.
The details and the conversations in this book just make you realise what these kids go through.
The cover features a little book, Cathy Glass always chooses to have a child on the front cover, it adds realism to the story and makes you know that the story is a true story.
I really appreciate Cathy giving us so many details and bringing us along with her throughout her journey.
I've never been disappointed by Cathy and she writes perfectly.

Written by a longtime foster mother, this story follows her time fostering a girl with a father raising her in an emotionally incesteous relationship. While that story was quite enough on its own, I found myself far more interested in the story happening in the background: the obvious disintegration of the author's marriage, which she claims to have been completely oblivious to even while everyone else around her seemed to see it. The tragic irony of reading all the familiar clues of an affair and impending divorce while the author skimmed over them kept my attention far more than the title tale.

Amongst Cathy Glass books this is in the high middle. It's a great book touching heavy but important subjects. Worth the read!
