review 1: Cathy's writing style in this book was different to others I have read. Not written about foster children, this was a story about a mothers abuse and demonstrated how difficult it is for battered wives to break the abusive cycle. I did not find myself judging this woman but ins...

review 1: For this genre of abuse like stories this is excellently well written. The chapters are well paced, with good endings that make you want to continue reading. I particularly like this story as this child in many ways is not a victim of abuse, or neglect, she is well loved and well...

review 1: I enjoy Glass' stories of kids in foster care that she's helped, particularly as I hope to be a foster parent someday. I find them inspiring and fascinating. At the same time, the narrations make me a bit uncomfortable, as the stories of these children are really not hers to tell...
