Summary

The heartbreaking true story of a young, troubled mother who needed help.

The sixteenth fostering memoir by Cathy Glass.

It is the first time Laura has been out since the birth of her baby when Cathy sees her in the school playground. A joyful occasion but Cathy has the feeling something is wrong. By the time she discovers what it is, it is too late. This is the true story of Laura whose life touches Cathy’s in a way she could never have foreseen. It is also the true stories of little Darrel, Samson and Hayley who she fosters when their parents need help. Some stories can have a happy ending and others cannot, but as a foster carer Cathy can only do her best.

Another A*** Account From Cathy Glass

Listened to lots of Cathy's Accounts of her experiences as a foster carer. You feel part of the family due to her caring, warm and insightful descriptions. Iv learned a lot from these accounts, even though I'm a well educated and have vast experience in children and young people myself. Well done Cathy. A**** as also to the narrator. love her story telling.

Another Novel From A Great Author

I liked the fact that this book dealt with the stories of various children and it was nice to get an insight into Cathy's life when her children, Adrian and Paula, were very young. I really liked the update at the end of the book, but felt for Cathy and her family that John wasn't around much. She and her family, as well as the children she fosters, are very strong and courageous. This book deserved 5 stars as her novels are always a joy to listen to. She writes from the heart.

Heart broken stories

So many children so many problems that kind hearted Kathy dealt with in ‘The Silent Cry’ and she never forgot her own family. Poor Samson he was a jolly fighter.
