Summary

Lara was seven when her birth mother died from a drug overdose. With no extended family to look after her, she was put into foster care. The care system failed Lara and now she is failing her son.

Lara and her one-year-old son, Arthur, are brought to experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, by their social worker. Lara has fled an abusive relationship and Arthur has suspected non-accidental injuries. Cathy must monitor Lara whenever she is with her son, day and night. She cannot let them out of her sight for a minute.

Lara loves her son, but she puts her own needs first. Cathy must teach Lara how to care for Arthur, but will it be enough to allow her to keep him?

Another lovely insight of Cathy's life as a foster carer, I so glad that Laura had a very caring Social worker this time has Fatima who was in Cathy's last book was very judgemental (A family torn apart). Because of Laura's up bringing she didn't have the skills of a family life & Cathy as always had the patience & skill to help her

Fostering mum and baby through COVID

This bookwas both heartwarming and interesting. especially in context of the COVID pandemic. hard enough to keep oneself and adult family safe through the pandemic, Cathy gets the call that a mother baby placement of a vulnerable young mum, Lara, and her baby is required.
