Publisher Description
ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN
OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING
CARER TO MORE THAN 150 CHILDREN
Betrayed. Exploited. Forgotten.
Can one boy overcome the odds stacked against him?
Tayo was surprisingly well-spoken boy when he arrived at Cathy's but something about his story didn't add up. Tayo has no past. Without a clear history, it would take time and persistence to discover the truth of Tayo's life before foster care.
Cathy will soon learn that behind the mystery and deception is a little boy with a haunting past – one he'd much prefer to forget.
Can Cathy gain Tayo’s trust and help him face the truth before it’s too late?
Perfect for fans of Cathy Glass, especially readers of Damaged, Cut, Will You Love Me?, and A Terrible Secret.
Reviews
‘Plays out like a juicy ITV1 drama…at times heartbreaking. But Hidden is also a life -affirming read which proves that, despite the bad press, Social Services do have their successes – and ultimately, sometimes a little hope is all you need.’ Heat

Customer Reviews
The best book yet.
I have read a lot of Cathy’s books but,
None of them moved me like this one did.
So good!!!
Fantastic story!!( as always, by Cathy). Couldn't put this one down. I love reading Cathy's books because they show that just a few caring people working together in a child's life can make such a difference to that child's future.
