Publisher's summary

A new memoir from Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author Cathy Glass.

Eight-year-old Aimee was on the child protection register at birth. Her five older siblings were taken into care many years ago. So no one can understand why she was left at home to suffer for so long. It seems Aimee was forgotten.

The social services are looking for a very experienced foster carer to look after Aimee and, when she reads the referral, Cathy understands why. Despite her reservations, Cathy agrees to Aimee on - there is something about her that reminds Cathy of Jodie (the subject of ‘Damaged' and the most disturbed child Cathy has cared for), and reading the report instantly tugs at her heart strings.

When she arrives, Aimee is angry. And she has every right to be. She has spent the first eight years of her life living with her drug-dependent mother in a flat that the social worker described as ‘not fit for human habitation'.

Aimee is so grateful as she snuggles into her bed at Cathy's house on the first night that it brings Cathy to tears. Aimee's aggressive mother is constantly causing trouble at contact, and makes sweeping allegations against Cathy and her family in front of her daughter as well.

It is a trying time for Cathy, and it makes it difficult for Aimee to settle. But as Aimee begins to trust Cathy, she starts to open up. And the more Cathy learns about Aimee's life before she came into care, the more horrified she becomes.

It's clear that Aimee should have been rescued much sooner and as her journey seems to be coming to a happy end, Cathy can't help but reflect on all the other ‘forgotten children' that are still suffering…

Thank you Lord, there are some good people left !

Any additional comments?

Sad but true. Bad things can go on next door to us without us ever being aware. The children can get lost in the system.....

Another Forgotten Child

A marvelous narration by Denica Fairman! She does a wonderful job of the accents and characters involved, a reading done with superb nuance and emotion suiting the character of this wonderful and educational book by Ms. Glass. I'm headed to the catalogue to look for more from both of them...

Another well told account.

The story is well told in the sense that the author explains difficult situations with grace and without all the gory details,

We’ll told story with real statistics that are sad

She tells such a great story with such compassion and heart. I love how kind and caring she is and for every child that she saves that’s one that will have a normal lifestyle. I love reading her books.
