About this listen
The No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller.
At just eight years old, Jodie is violent, aggressive and extremely challenging. Five carers in four months have been unable to cope, but there is one last hope: Cathy Glass…
As Jodie begins to trust Cathy and make progress, shocking details about her past come to light. No one had noticed the glaring signs of abuse by those who were supposed to love her most.
One of Cathy’s earliest and bestselling memoirs, Damaged is a heartbreaking story that proves just how valuable foster carers are for society’s most vulnerable children.

very well written book
Very well told, with empathy. Heart breaking story. Although there some horrific things that happened to this poor little girl, you could relate to it very well.

Damaged
This is a heartbreaking story, for one little girl to have suffered so much, it brought me to tears, this to me proves that social services are inadequate in their performance to protect children, and more funding should be given to help , prevent children from being abused. A good overall account of a very damaged little girl
