About this listen

ONE REMARKABLE WOMAN. OVER 30 YEARS OF FOSTERING. THE STORY OF ONE CHILD SHE COULD NEVER FORGET.

Seven-year-old Reece is the last of six siblings to be taken into foster care. He can't cope with school and is often excluded for his violent and aggressive outbursts. But behind that anger is a kind little boy with secrets – he's just too scared to tell.

When Reece arrives at Cathy's door aged 7 years old, he has already passed through the hands of four different carers in four weeks. As the details of his short life emerge, it becomes clear that to help him, Cathy will face her biggest challenge yet.

Reece is the last of six siblings to be fostered. Having been in care for four months his aggressive and disruptive behaviour has seen him passed from carer to carer. Although only 7, he has been excluded from school, and bites people so often that his mother calls him 'Sharky'.

Cathy wants to find the answers for Reece’s distressing behaviour, but he has been sworn to secrecy by his mother, and will not tell them anything. As the social worker prepares for the final hearing, he finds five different files on Reece’s family, and is incredulous that he had not been removed from them as a baby. When the darkest of family secrets is revealed to Cathy, Reece’s behaviour suddenly starts to make sense, and together they can begin to rebuild his life.

The latest title from the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged.

As all of Cathy's stories, it holds your attention & leaves you wanting more. I appreciate all of the books that Cathy has written. I was glad to see that Reese got a forever family. I really expected the Social Services to terminate the contact when Tracy kept upsetting Reese. All in all though it turned out in a happy ending. I'm going to read the update, because I want to know what happened to Tracy's last baby..... but that'll be another story........

great story

Wonderful, story, Great narration as always

As a former foster parent, I related to the deep connection between Cathy and Reese. I appreciated her "tough love" perspective plus her loving "mother bear" protectiveness. That said, the book seemed a bit dry at times,c and I found myself wanting to be drawn in with descriptive storytelling vs play-by-plays.

Reese is a Ray of Sunshine
