Arthur’s social worker, Claudette Brimstone, phoned me the following afternoon and our conversation didn’t get off to a good start. Just heard from my publisher that Unwanted is still in the Top Ten! Week 6! Thank you so much for making this book a success. It was the end of October. My previous foster children had just left and I was anticipating a few days, maybe even a week, child-free, when I hoped to be able to wind down after a rather traumatic year fostering during the pandemic. I could catch up with friends and my family.

Harper Collins have bought world rights in Cathy Glass’s latest fostering memoir A Family Torn Apart. Just heard from my publisher that Unwanted is still in the Top Ten! That’s week 8! Thank you so much for making this book a success. Harper Collins have bought world rights in Cathy Glass’s latest fostering memoir Lost Boy about gender fluid Stevie. A trip to WH Smith at the weekend witnessed a score of titles from agency clients Casey Watson, Cathy Glass and Lynne Barrett-Lee on display. Initially I thought all her stories were true, and very much set in the past. However her writing is now describing fostering during the pandemic, so I feel like these stories cannot possibly be true, and how horrid for the fostered individuals to have their dirty laundry aired in such a way.Cathy Glass’s Can I Let You Go? remains in the charts for an eighth consecutive week - this time no 14. I have fostered 200 kids, but Lucy’s eyes were haunted and my heart went out to her - she was destined to be my daughter” Yes, that was the concern of her doctor. But in court Lara’s lawyer pointed out that we’d had no previous concerns about her abusing her child, that the boy was thought to be very accident-prone, and the cuts and bruises could have easily been sustained as a result of
Not only is “Cathy Glass” a pseudonym, but so are the designated names of the children that she writes about. This is perfectly understandable, considering the delicate nature of the material that Glass covers. Readers who typically enjoy Cathy Glass books are individuals who are partial to genres that are inspirational memoirs or true life stories. Glass started writing in her spare time, when she wasn’t busy caring for her family, including her various foster children. My adult son, Adrian, was married to the lovely Kirsty. My daughter Lucy was living happily with her partner, Darren, and had blessed me with my first grandchild, Emma, now two and a half, and a treasure who made us all smile. My other daughter Paula was still living with me, so there was just the two of us and our rescue cat, Sammy, at home. I’d been divorced for many years. Paula had recently returned to work after being furloughed during the peak of the pandemic, so it felt as if life was gradually returning to normal. Of concern was that the R number – used to calculate the spread of the coronavirus – was rising, particularly in some areas. We were regularly reminded on television and billboards to stay safe by sanitizing our hands, wearing a face mask in enclosed public spaces and social distancing. This had become known as the ‘hands, face, space’ rule. Oh. That was the original plan, but the judge didn’t accept our recommendations. She wants Arthur kept with his mother while we carry out a parenting assessment. It seems your supervising social worker wasn’t updated.’Many congratulations to Cathy Glass who was third and fifth respectively in the Sunday Times bestselling memoirs of the year with Please Don’t Take My Baby, published in April, selling 48,145 copies and Will You Love Me? , published in September, selling 40,625 copies. It was a mother and child foster placement. My role was to keep Arthur safe, assess Lara’s parenting capacity, and give her help and advice where necessary in the hope she would be able to make the necessary changes to keep her son. I felt the responsibility especially as all the social worker’s ‘visits’ were online due to continuing covid restrictions. It was as though Lara’s future lay in my hands. A recent trip to Asda included the pleasurable sight of four agency authors on display: Casey Watson, Cathy Glass, Kris Hollington and Kirk Norcross. Lara loves her son, but she puts her own needs first. Cathy must teach Lara how to care for Arthur, but will it be enough to allow her to keep him?
