About this audiobook

Aged nine Joss came home from school to discover her father's suicide. She's never gotten over it.

This is the true story of Joss, 13 who is angry and out of control. At the age of nine, Joss finds her father’s dead body. He has committed suicide. Then her mother remarries and Joss bitterly resents her step-father who abuses her mentally and physically.

Cathy takes Joss under her wing but will she ever be able to get through to the warm-hearted girl she sees glimpses of underneath the vehement outbreaks of anger that dominate the house, and will Cathy be able to build up Joss’s trust so she can learn the full truth of the terrible situation?

    Interesting and full of empathy without trying to overdramatise. Great performance by the reading lady,…. Have listened to a few of Cathy glasses books already and will keep doing that.

    Wonderfully emotional book. As always Cathy Glass never disappoints. If there were super heroes like the ones we watch on TV, she would certainly be considered one. She is a real life hero. I absolutely love each book by her and her ongoing dedication, love, respect, and perseverance with each child she fosters is truly amazing and I'm grateful to have found her books to witness her & their amazing stories. Joss is a strong, stubborn, hurt, grieving, scared teenager who has suffered immensely and I'm glad she was fostered by Cathy. On to the next one for sure!

    Cathy Glass takes the reader on a wild ride with each book she writes. Once I get over the 'language barrier' (spy hole instead of peek hole, boot instead of trunk, etc) I can't put the book down. I do get upset that Endland's idea of foster care is quite different from that of foster care in The United States. Children are allowed to go out almost at will with foster parents having little or no control as to where the children go, what they do, or whom they choose as friends.
