What to expect
ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN
OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING
CARER TO MORE THAN 150 CHILDREN
Betrayed. Exploited. Forgotten.Can one boy overcome the odds stacked against him?
Tayo was surprisingly well-spoken boy when he arrived at Cathy's but something about his story didn't add up. Tayo has no past. Without a clear history, it would take time and persistence to discover the truth of Tayo's life before foster care.
Cathy will soon learn that behind the mystery and deception is a little boy with a haunting past – one he'd much prefer to forget.
Can Cathy gain Tayo’s trust and help him face the truth before it’s too late?
Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, especially readers of Damaged, Cut, Will You Love Me?, and A Terrible Secret.
