About this listen

The true story of a 6-year-old boy with a dreadful secret.

Oskar’s school teacher raises the alarm. Oskar’s mother is abroad and he has been left in the care of ‘friends’, but has been arriving in school hungry, unkempt, and with bruises on his arms, legs and body. Experienced foster carer Cathy Glass is asked to look after him, but as the weeks pass her concerns deepen. Oskar is far too quiet for a child of six and is clearly scared of something or someone.

And who are those men parked outside his school watching him?

What a brave little boy Oscar is. It still sickens me to the core that there are some people out there who believe they have the right to abuse children and I am so sad he had to go through that, but what a brave soldier he is. The ending made my heart soar, all the best to Oscar and the wheelchair wizard!

Love listening it this. As a Foster carer myself it was lovely to hear the stories from another carer.
It was happy, sad, and so emotional. Having young children myself it's hard to find the time to pick up a book to read. So this is perfect as I can listen any chance I get to myself and if in the car can turn the radio off and listen.

Fabulous listen.

Another amazingly touching memoir of Cathy & the children she’s fostered & cared for over the years.
Oscar’s story was harrowing & so glad that those men met their comeuppance in the end. I really hope he thrived back in Poland with Doll & Ivan, who also were clearly heroes in this story.
