Summary
Cathy Glass, international best-selling author, tells the shocking story of Zeena, a young Asian girl desperate to escape from her family.
When 14-year-old Zeena begs to be taken into care with a non-Asian family, she is clearly petrified. But of what?Placed in the home of experienced foster carer Cathy and her family, Zeena gradually settles into her new life, but misses her little brothers and sisters terribly.
Prevented from having any contact with them by her family who insist she has brought shame and dishonour on the whole community, Zeena tries to see them at school. But when her father and uncle find out, they bundle her into a car and threaten to set fire to her if she makes anymore trouble. Zeena is too frightened to press charges against them despite being offered police protection in a safe house.
Eventually, Cathy discovers the devastating truth from Zeena, and with devastation she believes there is little she can do to help her.

The hidden truth
Another brilliant book that highlights the abuses that are happening right here and now. Modern slavery, FGM and sexual or physical abuse is happening daily in this country. The story Cathy highlights some of these actions succinctly and with honesty. Thank you for sharing these stories so we can take a look at the world through your eyes.

5 stars as usual ☺️
‘Cathy’ is one of the sweetest kindest women I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to and every one of her books although sometimes hard to comprehend anybody could hurt children like they do, is also heartwarming and sometimes even a little funny.. best wishes xx

another amazing book
Cathy Glass is not only an extremely talented writer, but she is a woman who manages to tell the story of young people brought into her care with so much power and love that you can't help but feel transported into the very room that the events are happening in.
When reading or listening to any of her books you can feel the roller coater of emotions of each placement.
This book opens your eyes to cultures and traditions that you may not always be aware of, and whatever your personal views are on these, the main focus is always the welfare of the child.

This was a heartfelt story of how different cultures can treat their children. It was amazing that the young lady turned out to be such a generously kind person, I admire the love and dedication foster parent give to there charges.
