About this product
Product Information
The Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller. Although Jodie is only eight years old, she is violent, aggressive, and has already been through numerous foster families. Her last hope is Cathy Glass... Cathy, an experienced foster carer, is pressured into taking Jodie as a new placement. Jodie's challenging behaviour has seen off five carers in four months but Cathy decides to take her on to protect her from being placed in an institution. Jodie arrives, and her first act is to soil herself, and then wipe it on her face, grinning wickedly. Jodie meets Cathy's teenage children, and greets them with a sharp kick to the shins. That night, Cathy finds Jodie covered in blood, having cut her own wrist, and smeared the blood over her face. As Jodie begins to trust Cathy her behaviour improves. Over time, with childish honesty, she reveals details of her abuse at the hands of her parents and others. It becomes clear that Jodie's parents were involved in a sickening paedophile ring, with neighbours and Social Services not seeing what should have been obvious signs. It's clear that Josie needs psychiatric therapy, but instead Social Services take Jodie away from her, and place her in a residential unit. Although the paedophile ring is investigated and brought to justice, Jodie's future is still up in the air. Cathy promises that she will stand by her no matter what - her love for the abandoned Jodie is unbreakable.Product Identifiers

The most moving & heart wrenching book I’ve every read
I could not put this book down once I started reading it , can’t believe what evil monsters there are out there that would subject anyone to that let alone an innocent child scared for life , the tears just ran from my eyes many times through out the book I’ve got a lot of Cathy Glass books which I can say are all a very good read & gives you an insight to what fostering a child is really like , but I’ve got to say was not prepared for this one not for the faint hearted & have the tissues ready Thank Cathy you have done a fantastic job in writing your books & an inspiration to all the children you have fostered XVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
