Unwanted

The care system failed Lara. Will she fail her own child?

By: Cathy Glass

Narrated by: DeNica Fairman

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 great book

Cathy did it again with another wonderful telling of her experiences. If you love her other books, you’ll love this one too!

Excellent!

I highly recommend Cathy Glass and all of hear books I’ve listened to. She’s definitely a inspiration

Cathy does it again

Cathy is truly one of the best people & is using her position to directly help so many families and inspire countless others. Cathy’s books taught me so much about foster care & inspired me to go back to school to become a social worker. I worked in child welfare for a while & now work with young people as a therapist. Cathy’s books have been a huge source of my inspiration throughout my years of education and work with vulnerable children and families.

Ungrateful and spoiled

Cathy maybe too helpful for this young mother who doesn’t seem to appreciate enough and is all about her needs

Review

I love this book. I was glad to see that Laura ended up getting to keep Arthor and as usual loved Denica's narrating of the book!!!
