Absolutely loved this book, couldn't stop listening. A very real account of what it is to be a foster carer. Such amazing people who clearly cared so much for all of the children in their care.

Amazing

I must say that listening to what happened with my Foster Mum makes me proud of all She and Robert had accomplished for all those years. Listening to tales of my Foster siblings and having my memory jogged on some less than stellar incidents I caused (namely them locking the freezer due to my pilfering Ice Lollies) it makes more sense how she was so patient with us since I moved in with them in 2004.

Regarding the narration, I understand place-names can be hard to pronounce if you don't know a place, but hearing the town Luton pronounced "LEW-TAWN" instead of "LEW-TUN" definitely hit the ear wrong, as did a few other names. Good work nonetheless.

Couldn't listen to this because of the robotic Narration and all the mistakes in pronunciation for an English book.
