A Family Friend

There was only one man Sammy could turn to…

By: Casey Watson

Narrated by: Kate Lock

There was only one man Sammy could turn to…

With his young mother in and out of prison, Sammy has been in care since he was nine years old. Left feeling entirely alone, he has never had a proper safe haven.

There is one person looking out for Sammy: his neighbour, ‘Uncle Kenny’. But while Sammy may turn to Kenny for comfort, alarm bells soon start to ring for experienced foster carer Casey Watson…

Will Casey be able to save Sammy before it’s too late?

Perfect for readers who were moved by Casey's previous titles Little Girl Lost, I Want My Daddy, and I Just Want to Be Loved – powerful true stories of vulnerable children, resilience, and the life-changing impact of foster care.

All of them

I love the way she wrote this little boys story. I will be listing to all of her books.

Love her

We adopted a little girl from foster care she’s our world now. Love hearing others stories. Such heartbreak but at least they can finally get the love they deserve

How many of us need someone to let us know the past is not “right“

Casey Watson’s stories are real and honest. It feels like everyone has their own traumas, for some that are lucky someone like Casey Watson helps bridge the path to recovery. Maybe some of us read to hear a voice for us, because we never had that in our youthful time of need.

Love it!

Amazing as always! I love how you take us in your journey, good, bad and ugly. As always, it's a cautionary tale for us to take away and implement into our lives.

Riveting Story

I love Casey Watson’s stories of her foster care experiences! Her writing is engaging and leaves you wanting more. I think I’ve read/listened to at least 10 of her books already.
