About this listen

 The new fostering memoir from The Sunday Times bestselling author Casey Watson.

With his young mother in and out of prison, Sammy has been in care since he was nine years old. Left feeling entirely alone, he has never had a proper safe haven.

There is one person looking out for Sammy: his neighbour, ‘Uncle Kenny’. But while Sammy may turn to Kenny for comfort, alarm bells soon start to ring for experienced foster carer Casey Watson…

Will Casey be able to save Sammy before it’s too late?

I almost gave up with this book early on because of the dreadful narration. I'm glad that I didn't because the story was well worth listening to

shame about the narrator

What an up-to-date reality of his things can really be in this age. Makes you realise how little but also how much miss know. Definitely more education is needed on these topics for younger people. Also more education for adults also.

Up to date reality

I have read many of her books but this one was the first on audible that Ive tried and it was easy to listen to and well told. I will definitely try another one.

Casey Watson is a master story teller. Her fostering tales and family life hook you in and keep you listening.

The narrator spoiled it for me. So inconsistent and hard to listen to. Accents are really bad and the kids always sound unintelligent

Casey’s books are always a great read
