While difficult to comment on personal accounts and true stories I thought this was the most disappointing Cathy Glass book so far. The monotony of her repeating her daily routine and outlining her worries continously got very old, very quickly. It would've been a lot better if she had at least broken it up a little with more personal stories maybe about past foster children or her own children but as it was it felt more like I was reading a diary rather than a book that has been worked on and crafted. Its refreshing that Alice was a delightful little girl but that wasn't enough to purely carry the whole thing on in my view, wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to anyone although it has got a feel good factor to it. This is a story of a little girl called AliceAlice is to be placed with Cathy and her family on the Friday but it did not workBefore she even came to Cathy her mum had taken her and hid her for a few day,Alice love her Nan grandpa and her mummy but she dont love her daddy and his new wifethis book will have you in tears, but Alice is a very brave girl and you will grow to love her as you read the bookfor the people that have fostered or foster you will feel for poor Alice as you for every child that you have had come in to care.The taken a child screaming from contact with the family home and trying to calm the child down, the meeting where you have shouting matches and waiting for the court to say what will happen
Amazing story about the truth behind the foster world. Very good read and very close to tears.

Cathy is awesome. Her real life experiences inspire me to adopt.
