review 1: i usually read fiction. this should be one of the few non-fict that i have read as it was in a stash that my best friend handed over to me. i selected it only because it was the smallest and most compact of the lot.the moment i started, i couldn't stop.i kept checking to remind myself that it isn't make-believe but a real story spun into words. the emotions were all too real. that the world is really not so much of a black and white, either...i did not like children much because i have always thought they were hard to speak to, but this book has opened my eyes to how the world around children operates. i like how it is real and retold from her perspective and how the story didn't have a full closure to it – that's life and that's how life will always be.the writing style... more was easy to read and to my liking. i'd say it's easy to read but the "story"line is a torment to the mind. thanks for taking time to pen and share the experience of a fosterer. it truly is an inspiring story!now i can't wait to get my hands on Julie's story... my other friend who read it said it's also superb! :))
review 2: First of all you will need a box of tissues when reading this book.This a story of a little boy called Reece who was taken into care along with his six sibling.when he came in to care his birth mum would call him Sharky and Reece loved to bite, all his toys had something to do with sharks,Reece had very bad learning difficulties and had been excluded for two schools plus there was sure he had been sexual abuse,His birth mother had told him not to tell like a lot of children when there come into care about what has happen at home, Cathy meet the mum on a few of the contacts and it was a eye opener as mum would hit Reece round the head, plus there was security guards at the contact and 2 social workersAs the people that have cared for foster children contact is a very hard time for the child and the carers, The book tell of how Cathy with her children helped get Reece going to school and what happen later on, less
