Rendition Concering Books Cut: The True Story of an Abandoned, Abused Little Girl Who Was Desperate to Be Part of a Family

I like books about people who overcome terrible childhood experiences and turn their lives around. And I like books about children in foster care who find love and acceptance, or books about teachers who manage to break through to a special-needs child, or books about an adult whose life was enriched, not destroyed, by unusual experiences in childhood. I find these books inspiring. But I don't like the books that give gory details about abuse. I understand that it happens, but I prefer the books that acknowledge a bad past with a few sentences and then move on. I've found that Cathy Glass walks this line very well, and I've kind of been on a Cathy Glass kick since discovering her books a few months ago. Cathy is a foster carer living somewhere in Britain, and her books are based on her own experiences. Children come to her angry, depressed, and hurt. She tries to help them put themselves back together. Despite the long and overly dramatic title, this was a low-key sort of story about a 13-year-old, Dawn, who comes to live with Cathy and her family. Dawn is used to having complete freedom and runs wild, although she gradually accepts the structure that Cathy and John give her. Dawn also drinks, lies, and cuts herself. But slowly and eventually, she begins to find peace.

Criticism Containing Books Cut: The True Story of an Abandoned, Abused Little Girl Who Was Desperate to Be Part of a Family

This is a book that would have made a better short story, in my humble opinion. There was a 'secret' that was teased was teased for FAR TOO LONG, which was frustrating and had a pay-off that wasn't worth the build.The Foster-Mom-Main-Character fluctuates between being a saint-like, heroic, selfless, angelic, most-perfect-mom-ever character and conversely she can also be a complete dolt, naive to the ways of the entire world, blind + just *ignorant* to the point that...this flip-flopping began to

A great foster mom with a troubled young girl.This is a book you have to be ready to feel every emotion. We all hear "stories" about children in the system but this is the true story about two families and especially about a young girl who deserved more than she received for too many years and this is the true account by the special lady who was the foster mom. I wish all foster parents would be like Cathy. I will read all her books.

A heart warming book, but could have been better if the writer had abbreviated some of the detailed descriptions of her exchanged phone calls with the authorities she so generously supplied. Cathy glass knows how to grip the readers attention till the very last page and weave from true events touching stories, she nevertheless is a bit too idealistic for a human being, but maybe this is how a good foster parent should be to be able to deal with disturbed kids.

A well written account of a young girl who is placed in foster care with Cathy & her husband when social services employed a 'dump & run' policy.Dawn's problems soon become evident in a series of events which are unexplained by her social worker & mother leaving little help for the family.Eventually the truth of Dawn's emotional problems comes to light & help is finally given when she is moved back in with her mother.This is a very harrowing book to read yet I felt compelled to

This was a great read. Although it tackled some very tough issues, it wasn't a testing read and simply left me wanting to read more. It kept a good pace and was well written in terms of being able to sense what the characters were going through. It was difficult to put this book down!

This book is about when she first started fostering. I can't believe how little the foster careers were told in those days. They should never have been put in a situation where the child was a danger to the family. This is the story of Dawn, a tearaway 13 year old, though most of the time she just craved family life. She liked to push boundaries, as do most teenagers, but when she did push them they were pushed further than others. Her behaviour all was a cry for help. When she was five her
