Will You Love Me?: The story of my adopted daughter Lucy

Product Information

This is the story of my adopted daughter, Lucy, who came to me as a foster child and stayed for good. Lucy was born to a single parent who had herself been abused and neglected for most of her childhood. Lucy’s mother couldn’t cope with a baby and Lucy was neglected right from the start. Despite concerns being raised by her teachers and other adults Lucy wasn’t taken into permanent foster care until she was eight years old. But even then her problems weren’t over. As she was moved from one foster home to another she became increasingly upset and angry. Amazing book as always from Cathy, can't wait for the next! Have read every single one of her books!" Foster carers rarely get the praise they deserve, but Cathy Glass's book should change all that.****'

I love Cathy Glass' work and this was no different. A really personal memoir and all the more touching as Lucy features in other books too." It's a family drama, and some people would probably describe it as "gritty". It's not the kind of thing I would ever choose to read for pleasure, but many people do, and for them this would probably be a treat.
