The Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller. Although Jodie
is only eight years old, she is violent, aggressive, and has
already been through numerous foster families. Her last hope is
Cathy Glass
Cathy, an experienced foster carer, is pressured into taking
Jodie as a new placement. Jodie's challenging behaviour has seen
off five carers in four months but Cathy decides to take her on to
protect her from being placed in an institution.
Jodie arrives, and her first act is to soil herself, and then
wipe it on her face, grinning wickedly. Jodie meets Cathy's teenage
children, and greets them with a sharp kick to the shins. That
night, Cathy finds Jodie covered in blood, having cut her own
wrist, and smeared the blood over her face.
As Jodie begins to trust Cathy her behaviour improves. Over
time, with childish honesty, she reveals details of her abuse at
the hands of her parents and others. It becomes clear that Jodie's
parents were involved in a sickening paedophile ring, with
neighbours and Social Services not seeing what should have been
obvious signs.
It s clear that Josie needs psychiatric therapy, but instead
Social Services take Jodie away from her, and place her in a
residential unit. Although the paedophile ring is investigated and
brought to justice, Jodie s future is still up in the air. Cathy
promises that she will stand by her no matter what her love for the
abandoned Jodie is unbreakable."
