Hi Cathy, I just wanted to say that I really love your books. I have cerebral palsy and often suffer with loneliness and other struggles so your books give me an escape from things and help me to feel less lonely. It’s kind of like I’m in the books in a way. So thank you for writing them. You sound like a great person. I have written a book about myself which is about my experiences with living with cerebral palsy and it’s currently being published so it’s good to be inspired by someone. Kind regards. More success for Cathy Glass, whose book A Baby’s Cry was the 17th bestselling memoir of 2012, below Tulisa but above Justin Bieber. Often Glass splits her books into multiple parts and spaces out the ebook publication of each part by a week or so before publishing the novel in its entirety. In the list below, only the full novel has been included once it is published in full.

As previously mentioned, Glass draws from her experience caring for children in the foster care system. Throughout the course of her time as a foster care provider, she has seen horrific and distressing cases, many of which feature in the books below. Most of the children in her books have been horribly abused — physically, emotionally, and sexually — so reviewing each book’s content warnings is highly recommended. Nonfiction Books There are so many questions you’ll be asking yourself by the time you’re done reading this book, but the biggest one is this: why would a mother believe that giving away her new-born child is her only option? That’s what Cathy Glass is about to find out in this best book. Little baby Harrison is left in Cathy’s care at only one day old. This book is beautifully written and one you won't be able to put down. I love all of Cathy's books and am always grateful for a happy ending but this one was so very bittersweet. I'm not ashamed to say that I sobbed throughout this book, especially towards the end. Cathy Glass used to work for the civil service but left that career to start a family. After initially struggling to have children, Glass and her husband decided to apply to become foster carers, after seeing an advert about it. Due to the sensitive nature of her works, the name “Cathy Glass” is a pseudonym, and the names of the children she writes about are also altered. She agrees only to find out a few days later it is not just Arthur but also his mother Lara who they decide needs to be put on a parenting plan where Cathy needs to observe and help in the way of letting Lara know what she needs to do in different circumstances…

How I Found the Agency

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. This best series by Cathy Glass contains her latest books and there are 9 in total. Not only does she foster children, but she also helps young mothers. This series is the best testament to the kind and caring person that Cathy Glass is. In the titular book, Cathy tells the story of Faye, a 24-year-old pregnant woman. Donna ends up living with Cathy’s family for just over a year, and they try to make her feel as if she is part of the family. This isn’t always easy. Cathy is startled and confused when she finds Donna in the bathroom one day scrubbing her hands raw. She informs Cathy that her mother always told her to clean her hands to get rid of the dirt, but it won’t come off. 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. 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”

Bonjour, Je suis Cindy je travaille en école auprès d’enfants en situation d’handicap, j’ai découvert vos livres il y a maintenant un an, j’ai une grande admiration pour ce que vous faites, vous faites un travail incroyable avec les enfants et vous leur offrez tellement, c’est beau ce que vous faites. Je dévore vos livres, dommage qu’ils ne soient pas tous traduit en français. Continuez ce que vous faites, ces enfants en ont tellement besoin. I have read almost all of Cathy Glass books. She is a wonderful woman and a great writer. I am in tears with all of her books. Keep up the writing and take care. Cathy Glass books are a slightly guilty pleasure of mine. The way that Cathy portrays herself as taking 'damaged' children and 'fixing' them after they have suffered somehow reassures me that even the most evil situations can be somewhat remedied. Although I recognise that the suffering of the children can, tragically, never be properly healed. I have read/listened to many of your books and they have been a massive inspiration for me. Although I am not equipped to foster (I live in a shared accommodation) but I have been inspired by your book ‘Damaged’ to start residential childcare. I worked 5 years in nurseries. I’ve always wanted to do more for children. A friend of a friend gave me your book (which started my journey on working through your collection), This began my career reflection and I then instantly applied for residential childcare. Best decision I have ever made. You’re an absolute inspiration to me, your practices, patience and love for children. I hope to be able to help as many children as you. Take care.Hi Cathy, I have An Innocent Baby and it was such a heart-breaking, but lovely book. I suffer with anxiety and reading really helps me to escape. The book gave me something to look forward to every evening after the kids were bathed, fed and asleep in their beds. You really are a remarkable lady, and your family must be so proud of you. Keep being fab. I can’t wait to read more of your books. I think you really help so many people escape the reality and the hustle and bustle of life, so thank you. Take care. Kindest regards. Hi Cathy, I hope you are well. I found a book of yours in a second hand book shop, Damaged, was the book, and it was the first book I read of yours. I am now so drawn in & have just finished my fifth book, A life lost. You are an inspiration & I honestly admire you.
