Summary

The fifteenth fostering memoir by Cathy Glass.

Danny was petrified and clung to me in desperation as I carried him to my car. Trapped in his own dark world, he couldn't understand why his parents no longer loved or wanted him and were sending him away.

While Danny's parents have everything they could wish for in material terms, they are unable to care for their only child. This is where Cathy comes in. On a cold, dark evening, Danny finds a place in her home where he can be himself, away from his parents' impatience and frustration. Often in his own little world, six-year-old Danny finds it difficult to communicate, finding solace in his best friend and confidant George - his rabbit.

Cathy quickly becomes aware of his obsessively meticulous behaviour in addition to his love of patterns - he sees them everywhere and creates them at any opportunity - in his play and also with his food. She realises that patience is the key to looking after Danny as well as her well-tried strategies for managing children's behaviour.

With his father refusing to cooperate, it becomes increasingly likely that Danny will be living with Cathy permanently until she gets an opportunity to speak her piece.

Another great book

I absolutely love the Cathy Glass books, I love the fact that they are all done with the same voice as you can really imagine that this is the voice of Cathy Glass.

Another excellent production

Classic Cathy Glass writing, it draws you in and you feel the whole range of emotions.

Classic performance from Danica Fairman, she really draws you into the story. I can't imagine anyone else narrating for Cathy, the partnership is perfect.

Not one of Cathys best!

Having read/listened to many of Cathys books I was unfortunately disappointed with this one. I found it dull & quite repetitive.
Thank goodness for Denica Fairmens narration who tries to bring it to life with her lovely voice.

Let down by narration

As other books by Cathy Glass this one is a sad and touching story. As a prospective adopter I found them helpful and would recommend to read/listen them along with special literature.

Narration however is what lets this and other books down. Not that it's bad it's just not fitting. It sound like the book read for 6 year olds.

saving Danny

I loved it as it shows with a bit off help the child and parents of special needs children can lurn to understand their needs and have a strong understanding of the child's needs and progress as a normal family
