My Dad's a Policeman by Cathy Glass
5.0
A lovely little piece of fiction from Cathy!
Though this is a fictional piece by an author who is more famous for her non-fiction, this can definitely stand up with her other work. Following Ryan on his first night in care, it couldn't have been written any other way - and it's great to get ’the other side’ and the kids perspective, which we understandably don't normally get! I do wonder whether there is some truth to the tale - after all Ryan and Tommy (his brother) are awarded ’after stories’ on Cathy’s website as the foster kids she has memoir’d about have, so it would definitely indicate this. Either way this book compliments her memoirs to a t!
