Nonfiction by Cathy Glass
This is the newest book from Cathy Glass, a British foster carer. I have read nearly all her books.
In this story she takes charge of a two year old called Jamie whose drug-addicted mother kept him in a crib almost all of his little life. As a result Jamie is undernourished, has severe diaper sores, is almost nonverbal, and doesn’t walk as well as he should.
In the midst of this assignment, Covid lockdown hits, and Cathy is required to navigate Jamie’s recovery in near-isolation.
Of course Cathy is able to nurse this little one into health and get him a permanent placement, which is always gratifying to read. I didn’t love this book as much as some of her others, maybe because there were no real surprises. But I still thought it was worth reading.
I also read recently by this author: Girl Alone
