About this listen

A 5-year-old boy, Ethan, is brought to Casey in the middle of the night after the sudden death of his young mother after a drug overdose.

Estranged from her parents, Ethan’s mum had been abused by her ex-partner, and began taking drugs to cope. Ethan is obviously lost and bewildered, and regularly wakes up screaming for his mum in the night. He begins to lash out at other kids at school and his behaviour becomes more volatile. When arrangements are made for Ethan to see his dad in prison, Casey recognises the name and face… It turns out she’s far more familiar with this case than first imagined.

I have now enjoyed four books by Casey Watson, this being the fourth. Love her natural gift of helping and caring for these children so in need of love, attention and care. It was interesting how the general system works and how it can be improved and supported by amazing decent foster families like Casey’s.

A lovely down to earth story

I always enjoy reading Casey Watson's books & lately listening to her books.But following Ethens journey to a loving stable home gripped hold right to the end .I didn't want her to stop telling us how he was doing.I really would love to know how they all are today 2025,,as this little boy & his journey with his family left me wondering if Ethen & his dad made it His dad buying a home of their own together.No other book has left me wondering like this. As for Casey & Mike they are just an amazing & loving couple who as you read her books you can feel the love & care they have for every child they foster & for their loving family.I recommend all of Casey Watsons books so if you want a book to read pick up book number 1 and after reading it you'll be gripped &will leave you wanting to read the rest

This is the story of 5 Year old Ethan who is Taken in by Casey after his mother is found dead after taking an overdose. Ethan has a lot of issues such as outbursts of violence and needing to have control by exact timing of things. When Ethan goes to visit his dad in prison and Casey sees his face she realises that she’s closer to this case than she could have thought.

I loved the way Casey fought for what was best for Ethan and the professionals she had working with her on his case were also forward thinking and willing to assist her all they could. She was determined to help him have a better life than what he’d come from and was willing to do whatever was needed to make that happen. What I love about Casey as a carer is she’s not scared to challenge the professionals if she does not believe they are write. She does everything she can for whoever she is caring for and this was clear with Ethan. I also liked the fact that even when she found out who Ethan’s dad was she still continued to do what was best for Ethan and put him first even when it meant doing some things that were really difficult.

Another great offering this Author and I did not hesitate to rate this a 5 star rating. There is not one book I’ve read by this Author I’ve not liked.
