Publisher's Summary
A BOY WITHOUT HOPE is the heart-breaking story of a boy who didn’t know the meaning of love. A history of abuse and neglect has left Miller destined for life’s scrap heap. But in this turbulent story of conflict and struggle, Casey Watson is determined to help Miller overcome his demons, show him love and give him hope.
Casey Watson is back, doing the job she does best – rolling up her sleeves and fostering the children who, on first meeting, seem like hopeless cases. But when she meets Miller and discovers the truth about his disturbing childhood, even Casey begins to doubt if this child will ever be able to accept love.
Found naked and alone on a railway track, Miller was just five when he was first admitted into the care system. Emotionally tormented by his biological parents, Miller has never understood how to establish meaningful relationships, and his destructive past, and over 20 failed placements, is sealing his fate in society’s social scrap heap.
After a torrent of violent behaviour and numerous failed attempts to help Miller, Casey decides to make an intervention, implementing a severe regime that strips Miller of all control. But soon the emotional demands of Miller’s case start to take their toll on Casey and Mike. Just how far is Casey willing to go to help Miller and save him from his inner demons?

Its read terribly.
The story itself is as all casey watson's books are, fantastic.. but the lady reading it is terrible. Casey's son keiran is Autistic, not mentally impared, why is it read like hes got a speech impairment? Most of the characters are read like its a house full of mentally impared people that have speech issues.. its horribly read.

The orator needs to understand her characters
Keiran being Asperger’s don’t have any speech impediment but she read him like he had Cerebral Palsy. (which he doesn’t)
Lacking the skills to do multiple voices she relies instead on doing accents for her characters, and the protagonist in the story (young Miller), was given a strong English/Caribbean accent.
Great story. I’ve read it on kindle and was an accidental double up, but enjoyed the second time through nonetheless.

Not my favourite book
Ok but not one of my favourite books. I felt the story was a bit weak.

Enjoyed the story but not the orator
The story is great but I don’t think the orator did such a good job. It was a shame as it set a tone for the book that I can’t imagine the author intended.
