    About this audiobook

    The eleventh memoir and latest title from the internationally bestselling author and foster carer Cathy Glass. This book tells the true story of Cathy’s adopted daughter Lucy.

    Lucy was born to a single mother who had been abused and neglected for most of her own childhood. Right from the beginning Lucy’s mother couldn’t cope, but it wasn’t until Lucy reached eight years old that she was finally taken into permanent foster care.

    By the time Lucy is brought to live with Cathy she is eleven years old and severely distressed after being moved from one foster home to another. Withdrawn, refusing to eat and three years behind in her schooling, it is thought that the damage Lucy has suffered is irreversible.

    But Cathy and her two children bond with Lucy quickly, and break through to Lucy in a way no-one else has been able to, finally showing her the loving home she never believed existed. Cathy and Lucy believe they were always destined to be mother and daughter – it just took them a little while to find each other.

      A touching proof that love makes families and makes whole. A happy ending with real depth.
    • 5/5
      Will you love me? This is a very emotional book. It highlighted the short falls and successes of the foster care system in England.
      Through the story of one little girl and her need for a family.
      This is a book I relate to, because of personal experience.
      Well worth the read.
    • 5/5
      Very touching story of Lucy and the experiences of looked after children in the UK.

    • 5/5
      Touching and heartbreaking! Thankful for the positive outcome.
      Realistic regarding CPS. Most of Cathy's other books paint CPS in a too positive light.
