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? 600 10 $a Glass, Cathy. 650 0 $a Foster mothers $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Foster children $z Great Britain. 600 17 $a Glass, Cathy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01676479 650 7 $a Foster children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933178 650 7 $a Foster mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933229 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 941 $a 2 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516013055.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104014646.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C54E957AA46A11E9B5C9673897128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
