Publisher's Summary

Lara was seven when her birth mother died from a drug overdose. With no extended family to look after her, she was put into foster care. The care system failed Lara and now she is failing her son.

Lara and her one-year-old son, Arthur, are brought to experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, by their social worker. Lara has fled an abusive relationship and Arthur has suspected non-accidental injuries. Cathy must monitor Lara whenever she is with her son, day and night. She cannot let them out of her sight for a minute.

Lara loves her son, but she puts her own needs first. Cathy must teach Lara how to care for Arthur, but will it be enough to allow her to keep him?

Long winded and drawn out by constant Covid raving

I have read many books by Cathy Glass and they have been great books. This one was not.
I found the narrator annoying. The constant talking of Covid throughout the book felt like being brainwashed and bombarded by the news, as we have been for years now. Way too much.
The book seemed to be more about Covid than the actual storyline.
Will be taking Cathy Glass off my reading list.
