Helpless

The 32nd fostering memoir from international bestseller Cathy Glass Mother to three young children and struggling to cope, Janie is considered at risk by the social services.

At first, experienced foster carer Cathy Glass is brought in to help the family get ready for school each morning.

But after Janie’s eldest, Riley, 7, is involved in a fight, he starts to stay with Cathy at weekends.

Cathy soon learns how dangerous their situation has truly become. It is not long before all three children are brought temporarily into Cathy’s care, and she begins the slow process of rebuilding their lives – and Janie’s too.
