Jackson is aggressive, confrontational and often volatile. His mother, Kayla, is crippled with grief after tragically losing her husband and eldest son. 

Struggling to cope, she puts Jackson into foster care. Cathy, his carer, encourages Jackson to talk about what has happened to his family, but he just won’t engage. His actions continue to test and worry everyone.

Wonderful

I have read all the books written by Cathy Glass and this is my favorite one. It’s a tear jerker for sure!

Wonderful as always

Another amazing book by Cathy Glass. I have yet to find a fostering story of hers I haven’t liked.
Danica Fairman is by far my most favorite narrator out of all the books I’ve listened too...and I have listened to MANY!

Cathy often talks about her home in her books. It might be kind of strange of me but I often think about what her house looks like. Although she describes her surroundings well, “kitchen come diner” or “landing outside the bedrooms” I wish we could see a layout of her home.

Wonderful as usual.

I grab every single book by Cathy Glass. Coming from a dysfunctional set of parents, I always find comfort in her kind, caring demeanor. Denica narrates so wonderfully with her soothing voice.
My sincerest condolences to Cathy on her loss.

Never a disappointment.

I have read/ listened to all of Cathy's bills and they are never a disappointment (unless you count the disappointed feeling when you're done). You really feel like you know her, her family, and the kids. Coming from a family that has done foster care for years I can say that these stories are so real and so touching. I don't think people realize how much of a difference a good Foster carer makes even if it's a short stay. Cathy shows that with every single book. So much love!!

Sad

This book is sad but I loved it as I love all books by this author. I knew someone would die in the book and I successfully guessed who, but that didn't detract from the book. This was another great story from my favorite foster care author.

Cathy always has wonderful stories

I've listened to many of Cathy Glass' books and she never ceases to amaze me, on how loving and kind she is even when most carers would give up.

Excellent book, wonderfully narrated

As always Cathy Glass doesn’t disappoint. This book had me tears, both happy and sad, and sucked me right into their world. Danika Fairman is the perfect narrator for these books. I can’t wait for Cathy’s next book.

Another great book

Yet again Cathy Glass has written a brilliant book. Filled with several twists and turns, enough to keep me reading almost non-stop until I had finished it. The ending comes rather suddenly and is upsetting in a number of ways. Well done Cathy, you are doing a wonderful job both with your writing and fostering. Big thanks to the narrator as well, I rather like when the same narrator does all the books from the one author, and all of Cathy's books are narrated just right.

amazing story as ever

Kathy glass is a phenomenal writer and love all of her books definitely recommend reading

Another brilliant book

Yet again another fantastic book. its detailed so well but without it being boring. i felt like you could really visualize the story as if i had seen things happen. Amazing account of Jackson and Tilly 's time with Cathy and how Cathy helps them . A very sad ending which i won't put in case someone hasnt read itt yet. Can't wait for next book.

I am a huge fan of this authors books. I always read them when the new one becomes available on audio book. A really sad ending to what was an uplifting book. Cathy is a great author and it’s clear that she cares for every single child she looks after.
