Description

Cathy Glass's latest title is a heart-wrenching account of one child's journey towards healing. Seven-year-old Reece, the last of six siblings to be taken into foster care, struggles to cope with school and is often excluded due to his violent outbursts. Behind his anger, a kind and vulnerable boy lies, too scared to reveal the secrets of his troubled past. As Cathy Glass takes Reece into her care, she uncovers a complex web of family secrets that have led to his distressing behaviour. With her help, Reece begins to rebuild his life, and the truth about his family's past slowly starts to emerge. This powerful and emotional story is a testament to the enduring impact of childhood trauma and the resilience of the human spirit. Through Reece's story, Glass sheds light on the challenges faced by children in care and the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes of their behaviour. A deeply moving and thought-provoking read, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of the foster care system and the long-term effects of trauma on children.
