Description

Cathy Glass's memoir, Cruel to Be Kind, tells the story of her experience fostering a young boy named Max, aged 6, while his mother is in hospital with complications from type 2 diabetes.

Initially, the introduction to Max's life is challenging, with his mother's complaints and threats towards Cathy even before Max moves in. The social worker's assessment of Max's situation is not the only one in denial, as his whole family is also struggling to come to terms with their circumstances.

This heart-wrenching true story explores the complexities of fostering and the challenges that can arise when a child's life is disrupted. With honesty and vulnerability, Cathy Glass shares her experiences and sheds light on the often-overlooked world of fostering.
