Description
Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, 7-year-old Alex's early life is marked by rejection. When Cathy Glass is asked to foster Alex, she is initially hesitant, but the present carers are expecting a baby and the foster mother is struggling. Despite the temporary nature of the arrangement, Alex settles in with Cathy and looks forward to finding a forever family. However, things take a shocking turn when Alex is introduced to his adoptive family, and the adoption process is called into question.
This heart-wrenching story raises important questions about the adoption process and the challenges faced by children in care. Cathy Glass's memoir is a powerful and thought-provoking account of her experiences as a foster carer and her journey to understanding the complexities of Alex's past.
With honesty and vulnerability, Cathy Glass shares her story, offering a unique insight into the world of foster care and adoption. This is a book that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss, rejection, or the complexities of family life.
