Fantastic

I am a huge fan of Cathy Glass. This book was just one of hers I couldn't put down. I would recommend to my friends and family and anyone else for that matter x

Very Enjoyable

I have been making my way through all of Cathy's books and this one was another excellent read. It had a bit of a different feel to it with the whole backstory in the beginning but I really loved that about it. I wish it was a bit more detailed about Anna's stay with Cathy, as that part was short and repeated a lot of the story we already knew, but regardless it was still a very enjoyable listen.

Emotional and heartwarming.

I am a massive fan of this author and her books are always emotional and heart breaking when you learn what the children have been threw. This in a way was one of the most heartwarming and emotional stories as due to her past Anna was badly affected and unable to show love to anyone or even communicate how she felt. Despite her parents loving her. This was one of the most lovely stories due to me becoming an uncle a year a go it really tore at my heart to see a family who clearly loved each other but just did not know how to handle there situation. I am glad that Anna ended up with Cathy because if not I feel that family would have not had the ending they did. Cathy is a tromendus and dedicated carer and I am glad that there are people like her who not only care about helping the children but also assisting the family as well.

Fantastic!

I’ve listened to many of Cathy Glass’ audio books now and Denica narrates them extremely well - it could even be Cathy herself!!

Behind every person there is a story

I love how she started with the story of the child, one would had judged Ana much more harshly had one not known her story. I found the book very educational, both regarding adoption and in raising a troubled child.

Unwitting damage caused by well-meaning parents

Elaine and her husband were, despite all their guided planning before the adoption, misguided by wrong advice.
I believe that Cathy has a gift, fortified by experiential intuition - and I thank God that people like her exist, and that she chose her career in fostering.
I also want to absolutely acknowledge the school teacher (can’t remember her name) who shared her wisdom, experience, strength and hope with Cathy and later with Elaine - and that both listened to her! Such valuable advice and she didn’t hold it back. I absolutely agree - the past is not necessary nor helpful as a *constant* reminder and I love the phrase ‘you can’t start the next chapter of your book if you keep re-reading the previous’.
Excellent read (listen ) and am soo fond of Denica Fairmans narration. 5/5

what a sad beginning for Anna, such a heartbreaking story. I really enjoy listening to Cathy's books. Her narrator Denica draws you in brilliantly and changes her voice for everyone involved. now I'm going to listening to the next one, im listening to them in order. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
