ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN.

OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING.

THE STORY OF ONE CHILD SHE COULD NEVER FORGET.

The true story of a troubled boy with a dark secret…

Seven-year-old Reece is the last of six siblings to be taken into foster care. He can't cope with school and is often excluded for his violent and aggressive outbursts. But behind that anger is a kind little boy with secrets – he's just too scared to tell.

When Reece arrives at Cathy's door, he has already passed through the hands of four different carers in four weeks.

Cathy wants to find the answers for Reece’s distressing behaviour, but he has been sworn to secrecy by his mother, and will not tell them anything. As the details of his short life emerge, it becomes clear that to help him, Cathy will face her biggest challenge yet.

Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, especially readers of Helpless, Unsafe and Unwanted.

The latest title from the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged.
