Explanation Supposing Books A Baby's Cry

What could cause a mother to believe that giving away her newborn baby is her only option? Cathy Glass is about to find out. From the author of Damaged comes a harrowing and moving memoir about tiny Harrison, left in Cathy's care, and the potentially fatal family secret of his beginnings. When Cathy is first asked to foster one-day old Harrison her only concern is if she will remember how to look after a baby. But upon collecting Harrison from the hospital, Cathy realizes she has more to worry than she thought when she discovers that his background is shrouded in secrecy. She isn't told why Harrison is in foster care and his social worker says only a few are aware of his very existence, and if his whereabouts became known his life, and that of his parents, could be in danger. Cathy tries to put her worries aside as she looks after Harrison, a beautiful baby, who is alert and engaging. Cathy and her children quickly bond with Harrison although they know that, inevitably, he will eventually be adopted. But when a woman Cathy doesn't know starts appearing in the street outside her house acting suspiciously, Cathy fears for her own family's safety and demands some answers from Harrison's social worker. The social worker tells Cathy a little but what she says is very disturbing. How is this woman connected to Harrison and can she answer the questions that will affect Harrison's whole life?

Criticize Containing Books A Baby's Cry

Well i said i wouldnt read another Cathy Glass book after the last one but i gave in.... This one was much better and left you wondering what was going to happen, which i always like to happen. I feel that there is far to much explaining about common sense things... I may read another who knows!!!



I wanted to like this book but I ended up disliking it intensely. "Cathy" is perfect. She doesn't work yet somehow supports herself and her two children in her 3-bedroom home. We're never told how she lives so well and no way can child support from her kids' father and payments from the family services cover it. She's a single mother of two young kids and has a newborn baby sprung on her to foster. That might cause a little chaos in other families, but Cathy never ever gets frustrated, frazzled,

This book is an eye opener and allows you to experience the life of a foster carer and how they can become emotionally attached to the child they are fostering. It also allows you to experience multiple scenarios of how and why children can be put into foster care. This is a heart wrenching story that shows how far a mother will go to protect her child. When foster carer Cathy Glass is asked to foster a newborn baby called Harrison Smith, Cathy faces so many unanswered questions as to why

Hmmm. A ok story but it dragged a bit and was a bit tedious as a previous reviewer said in all the unnessesary detail! I was hoping for a few twists or surprises but there weren't any.

This story isi so full of sadness, and devastation. But also joy and triumph, the will for the children to grow older and succeed. I never know what I am getting into while reading stories like this. But this one was not too awful. But when stuff like this happens it does break your heart. I loved where it told at the end you can look up and see how the family is doing today. Ive always wanted to do something like this. Even though I would never be able to I love reading how this lady handles

Compared to other Cathy Glass books this is the weakest of the ones I've read so far. It felt like at times she was just padding out the story. Not enjoyable!
