While Melodie and Poppy are clean, well-fed and immaculately dressed, Bobby is pale, severely underweight and crawling with lice.

When Jade Kelly met her new foster mother, she thought her prayers had been answered. Kindly Carol Docherty was everything her violent, drug-addicted mother was not. Loving and nurturing, she fed and clothed 10-year-old Jade and offered a life free of fear from near constant abuse. Or so Jade thought. As soon as social workers in Lancashire stopped their regular checks on Jade’s progress, Carol turned. Over the next six years Jade and three other girls were effectively kept prisoner in a bedroom she called the ‘bad room’ and subjected to unrelenting physical and mental abuse.

Story
Born in a prison and removed from his drug-dependent mother, rejection is all that 7-year-old Alex knows. When Cathy is asked to foster little Alex, aged seven, her immediate reaction is: Why can't he stay with his present carers for the last month? He's already had many moves since coming into care as a toddler and he'll only be with her a short while before he goes to live with his permanent adoptive family. But the present carers are expecting a baby and the foster mother isn't coping, so Alex goes to live with Cathy.

Ms. Cathy
Dear Ms Cathy,
On behalf of myself and I’m sure all of your readers I want you to know we are so beyond grateful for all the years you have been a foster parent. I don’t think we could ever thank you enough! Yourself and your books have always inspired me in someway. I honestly cried when you made your announcement because i have been reading your books for many years now . However I 100 % support your decision and think you deserve your me time. Just know even if they didn’t thank you and even throw you a party ( and they so should have done) We all thank you and think you have a heart of gold. Sending you and your family many hugs love and blessings !
P.S congratulations on your grand babies !! 🤍
