A Baby's Cry

De: Cathy Glass

Narrado por: Denica Fairman

What could cause a mother to believe that giving away her newborn baby is her only option? Cathy Glass is about to find out. From author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged comes a harrowing and moving memoir about tiny Harrison, left in Cathy’s care, and the potentially fatal family secret of his beginnings.

When Cathy is first asked to foster one-day old Harrison her only concern is if she will remember how to look after a baby. But upon collecting Harrison from the hospital, Cathy realises she has more to worry than she thought when she discovers that his background is shrouded in secrecy.

She isn’t told why Harrison is in foster care and his social worker says only a few are aware of his very existence, and if his whereabouts became known his life, and that of his parents, could be in danger. Cathy tries to put her worries aside as she looks after Harrison, a beautiful baby, who is alert and engaging. Cathy and her children quickly bond with Harrison although they know that, inevitably, he will eventually be adopted.

But when a woman Cathy doesn’t know starts appearing in the street outside her house acting suspiciously, Cathy fears for her own family’s safety and demands some answers from Harrison’s social worker. The social worker tells Cathy a little but what she says is very disturbing . How is this woman connected to Harrison and can she answer the questions that will affect Harrison’s whole life?

Love these books!

I have listened to all Cathy’s books in 2 months. I love these books! Denica Fairman is the best narrator I’ve listened to! She does quite a few voices. Can’t wait for your new book “Unsafe” next month!

Excellent

I just finished this book. I have to admit I was surprised at the reason Rehanna felt she had to be so secretive about her baby. I was imagining all sorts of awful things as I read, but when the real reason was revealed, I was taken aback... As always, the narration was excellent! Keep the stories coming!

Amazing story

A wonderful story! It is a great story that captures your attention and your heart.

Cathy rocks

as always, I highly enjoyed her book. I found myself (again) really getting into it and feeling her emotions. lol

A Baby’s Cry

Overall a very heartwarming story I would recommend listening to, however there were many mundane unnecessary facts that slowed the story line.

A baby's cry

I enjoyed the book. I wasn't crazy with the different stories going on in one book.

True to the Frelings

I am also a foster parent and this story rang so true to me and the feelings I have felt. Excellent writer and story!

Another outstanding book

Cathy never fails to bring an emotional heart touch book regarding the insight to what these unfortunate children have to endure prior coming to coming to her. I have never been disappointed in her works.

Harry Harrison

I loved this story. It shows the connection a mother has with her child and how nothing could make a mother’s heart change about her child.

Cathy Glass is fantastic.

This is a very sweet story that shines light on what a foster carer can do - miracles! If it wasn't for Cathy's support and decision making, this story could've turned out differently. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter.
