Description: 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 Withdrawn, refusing to eat and three years behind in her schooling, it is thought that the damage Lucy has suffered is irreversible.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.

Review: I approached this book with some trepidation, I don't usually read 'misery memoirs', and quite honestly couldn't remember exactly why I had bought this one. It took the same course that most of these books must take, misery, misery, light at the end of the tunnel and saved. I am mystified as to how this woman knew the back story of Amy, allowing her to write about it. I can only assume that she uses a large helping of poetic license to ensure that the story follows the necessary path. There were several things that really irritated me in this book. Do they really employ people as social workers who bang on and on about a child's "ethnic identity" when, the so called ethnic identity was the result of not much more than a one night stand.. The author who writes all these books about happy relationships in families and how to bring up children well, appears to be divorced, so obviously didn't read her own book, and irritatingly refers to Lucy as "love" throughout the book, whilst she is speaking to her. I find the use of words like love, dear, sweetheart and darling rather patronising or are they used by people who cannot be bothered to remember your name? I know that I sound curmudgeonly towards this woman, but is anyone this perfect? I am sure that as a foster parent she was very good, but poor old social services who, after all, have a tough job to do come in for a bit of a kicking. She sounds a bit like Nigel Farage in a dress with the constant references to "politely correctness gone mad"
