Angie, 6, and sister Polly, 4, are utterly distraught when they arrive to stay with foster carer Cathy Glass. Their older half-sister Ashleigh has accused their father of something horrible, and the two young sisters have been removed from home to keep them safe.
Cathy tries to comfort the girls, but they are inconsolable. They just want their mummy and daddy, whom they love dearly.

5By alan brintThis story is an incredibly written, drama filled thriller. Cathy isn’t known for making her fostering books total thrillers (she has other books that fit this description) but recently, they have become far more thrilling, and none exemplifies this more than her latest. I’m not going to spoil the ending because it’s shocking and it would ruin the suspense for you readers, but you should know that from cover to cover you are going to read about a very challenging situation created by a very challenging person compounded by a very challenging time. She describes the events in just the perfect amount of detail, and when finished you will be left with no questions. Highly recommended!
