I Miss Mummy
Cathy spends three anxious days worrying about her whereabouts before Alice is found safe, but traumatised. Alice is like a little doll, so young and vulnerable, and she immediately finds her place in the heart of Cathy's family. She talks openly about her mummy, who she dearly loves, and how happy she was living with her maternal grandparents before she was put into care. Alice has clearly been very well looked after and Cathy can't understand why she couldn't stay with her grandparents.
It emerges that Alice's grandparents are considered too old (they are in their early sixties) and that the plan is that Alice will stay with Cathy for a month before moving to live with her father and his new wife. The grandparents are distraught – Alice has never known her father, and her grandparents claim he is a violent drug dealer.
Desperate to help Alice find the happy home she deserves, Cathy's parenting skills are tested in many new ways. Finally questions are asked about Alice's father suitability, and his true colours begin to emerge.
I wish I could give this book 10 stars! For me its the last Cathy Glass book - and admittedly I think it has to be my favourite. As usual, Glass` portrayal of the story left me hungry for more and almost unable to put this book down, I desperately wanted to read it to find out what happened. Thankfully a very happy ending, although I was in tears! Fantastic!
I have read a number of Glass books now and it was quite refreshing to read one which didn't feature child abuse but it highlighted how fragile and sometimes unfair the system is. You never knew what was finally going to happen to the little four-year-old girl, so lord only knows what she was thinking. It is down to Cathy that she remained so stable.Basically a young girl is taken from her grandparents into care to stay with Cathy, a foster carer, and her family.She is only supposed to be with
I hope Cathy Glass puts some of the fortune she's made from selling these children's stories back into the social care system... Very easy to read and informative for someone considering foster care; interesting for someone already doing the job to see how other carers struggle with social services and deal with decisions made that they don't necessarily agree with.
While difficult to comment on personal accounts and true stories I thought this was the most disappointing Cathy Glass book so far. The monotony of her repeating her daily routine and outlining her worries continously got very old, very quickly. It would've been a lot better if she had at least broken it up a little with more personal stories maybe about past foster children or her own children but as it was it felt more like I was reading a diary rather than a book that has been worked on and
I think this would have to be the worst foster story I have EVER read. Not because it was poorly written. Not because Cathy didn't do a great job. No it was because the social services got this case so very, VERY wrong! My heart was bleeding for poor little Alice but thank goodness for such a caring foster family as this one that saw her through it!
