A Family Torn Apart: Three sisters and a dark secret that threatens to separate them for ever

Product Information

The girls were inconsolable for days, not helped by only being allowed to see their mother online because of covid restrictions and concerns that she may frighten them into not telling the truth. But gradually they began to settle and as they did they talked more of life at home where there were a lot of arguments between Ashleigh and their parents.

Cathy Glass is hands-down my favorite author. I have read and re-read her fostering memoirs over and over again. Her latest certainly did not disappoint. At the start of August I had just said goodbye to Jamey, whom I’d fostered since before Christmas. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was asked to take another child or children and I steeled myself, wondering what their sorrowful story would be. In over 25 years of fostering, I’d looked after many children who had suffered abuse and neglect, but no two children’s stories are ever the same, and that was certainly true of the girls who arrived next. Her work is strongly identified with both the True Life Stories and Inspirational Memoirs genres, and she has also written a parenting guide to bringing up children, Happy Kids, and a novel, The Girl in the Mirror, based on a true story.

Their social worker, Fatima Hadden, will tell you more, but the girls’ mother doesn’t believe her daughter’s claims and is siding with her husband.’ Congratulations to Cathy Glass whose latest memoir Unwanted is Number 7 this week, its sixth week in the top ten. Read for book club. I would not have read it otherwise. Not good literature or story. I man just look at the cover. A recent trip to Asda included the pleasurable sight of four agency authors on display: Casey Watson, Cathy Glass, Kris Hollington and Kirk Norcross. Cathy tries to comfort the girls, but they are inconsolable. They just want their mummy and daddy, who they love dearly.
