Publisher Description
Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency.
The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying.
When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet – a result of being left for long periods in his cot.
Cathy and her family find Jamey very easy to love, but as he settles in and makes progress, a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown change everything.

Customer Reviews
Another amazing book
Another nice ending to a bad start in life. What I love about all the books are no matter how bad of a life the children had to start with, they leave much better and for a new, happy life.
Neglect
Cathy Glass describes her experiences as a foster carer in detail, but very easy to read. Her books offer interesting, emotional & sometimes shocking insight into the many issues involved in fostering children. She obviously has a natural ability for communicating with children of all ages, particularly those with challenging social & emotional issues. I particularly admire her approach when caring for children with behavioural problems.
Brilliantly written again
Although this book mentions the covid pandemic it doesn’t overshadow anything it shows just how much the Fostering system was hit through the pandemic which outsider like me didn’t realise.
Very well written yet again, no more of her books to read now as read them all.
