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

Best ending ever

Brilliant writing, had me in tears a few times and I’m not a soppy person. I feel for the mother especially as drugs and alcohol have ruined her not necessarily by choice.

Gripping

Completed this in 2 days…incredible story, told with great details which brought Tayo and his family right off the page and into your heart.

Very relaxing.

Found it very relaxing. A good way to forget about the stress of lockdown due to Covid-19.
