Summary

Jackson is aggressive, confrontational and often volatile. His mother, Kayla, is crippled with grief after tragically losing her husband and eldest son. 

Struggling to cope, she puts Jackson into foster care. Cathy, his carer, encourages Jackson to talk about what has happened to his family, but he just won’t engage. His actions continue to test and worry everyone. 

Then, in a dramatic turn of events, the true reason for Jackson’s behaviour comes to light....

my thoughts are with you Cathy & Family, take care you all lots of love Amanda

Great as always

I do love Cathy's books. Used to read them myself but now find audio works better as can listen and do housework. Denica narrates well as always. Now off to choose my next cathy book. Hope Jackson and his family are doing well.

Excellent !!!

Yet again another fantastic book. its detailed so well but without it being boring. i felt like you could really visualize the story as if i had seen things happen. Amazing account of Jackson and Tilly 's time with Cathy and how Cathy helps them . A very sad ending which i won't put in case someone hasnt read itt yet. Can't wait for next book.
