Publisher's summary

The 11th memoir and latest title from the internationally best-selling author and foster carer Cathy Glass. This book tells the true story of Cathy's adopted daughter Lucy.

Lucy was born to a single mother who had been abused and neglected for most of her own childhood. Right from the beginning Lucy's mother couldn't cope, but it wasn't until Lucy reached eight years old that she was finally taken into permanent foster care. By the time Lucy is brought to live with Cathy she is 11 years old and severely distressed after being moved from one foster home to another.

Withdrawn, refusing to eat and three years behind in her schooling, it is thought that the damage Lucy has suffered is irreversible. But Cathy and her two children bond with Lucy quickly, and break through to Lucy in a way no-one else has been able to, finally showing her the loving home she never believed existed. Cathy and Lucy believe they were always destined to be mother and daughter - it just took them a little while to find each other.

Heart warming, page turner

Cathy's books have all become big favorites of mine but I like the heart warming nature of this one especially. She goes way back to cover all of the beginning of her daughter's life and I found this thorough and enjoyable.

Lucy's story

Absolutely loved this book. Author's best! A bit sad and even heartbreaking at times. It helped knowing how it ends. Very heartwarming and beautiful.

More intimate than others

This was a nice revelation of her daughter’s story. I of course would have liked to hear more about her young friend, and anyone coming to punishment, but that didn’t seem to be the overall purpose of this book so I understand why there wasn’t much focus on that.

I am glad I read this out of order; that is, after other books in which the older Lucy appeared, so I was able to get to know her before hearing about her journey to adoption into their family.

I read Maggie Hartley’s books as well and—both independent by comparison—I feel quite uncomfortable about Cathy Glass’ focus on appearances and weight/food issues. In more than one of her books she makes a big deal about weight, and that feels unhealthy to me.

I am not a huge fan of this narrator for this genre, but in this book she really seemed to hit the mark of gentleness and caring. I do actually quite like her voicing of the “good” males, but kind males play a small part in most of Glass’ books, so we don’t get to hear that very often or for any length of time.

Worth a credit.

Wonderful story

Cathy Glass is a wonderful author and Danica is a great narrator! I absolutely love this book series.

The main characters accents do change a little from book to book, which is funny. Jill sounds a bit more Scottish in this book!
