About this listen

Lara was seven when her birth mother died from a drug overdose. With no extended family to look after her, she was put into foster care. The care system failed Lara and now she is failing her son.

Lara and her one-year-old son, Arthur, are brought to experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, by their social worker. Lara has fled an abusive relationship and Arthur has suspected non-accidental injuries. Cathy must monitor Lara whenever she is with her son, day and night. She cannot let them out of her sight for a minute.

Lara loves her son, but she puts her own needs first. Cathy must teach Lara how to care for Arthur, but will it be enough to allow her to keep him?

Another great book but a bit too much about covid. Yes it should have been mentioned but it went into fat too much detail

The book was very gripping I really needed to keep listening finished in under a day.
Cathy explains well the meanings of terms in the child’s care proceedings
Which really helps to understand what is going on
Looking forward to her next book!

Another fantastic book by Cathy glass. She is a fantastic author and her books are always well written. Lara and Artha’s story was hard to read in parts and it was great how Cathy did everything she could to support. I am glad Lara got the ending she deserved.

Great book as always.
