Description
Cathy Glass tells the story of Dawn, a girl whose outward appearance belies a traumatic childhood. When Cathy first fostered Dawn, she was struck by the girl's sweet and seemingly well-balanced nature.
However, as time passed, Cathy began to uncover the shocking truth about Dawn's past. The young girl would sleepwalk, lighting matches and mumbling 'it's not my fault' in her sleep. She struggled to make friends and was often truant from school. A disturbing discovery - Dawn's room empty one night, with a pillow covered in blood.
Dawn had been self-harming to cope with the pain of her past. When she attempted suicide, Cathy realised that more help was needed than she could provide. The full extent of Dawn's trauma became clear: being sent away to live with relatives in Ireland between the ages of 5 and 9.
