Her books are so sad. Shes a foster carer and her books are about some of the children she has fostered. Their storys are utterly heartbreaking
Yes I had to stop reading them! I am the mum of a (now grown up) child who was abused....and they gave me sleepless nights. I have loads of them and I think I will give them to a charity shop...or if someone wants them?

I have read quite a few. I am a foster carer and they are very accurate, and from my experience generally with happier outcomes than the norm. I am no fan of victim lit in general, but I think Cathy's books are well worth a read

Accurate and to the point, but they make great reading

Well, all of them really! I think the first one i read was 'cut'. The latest is desperately sad - all about a little boy she fosters who dad dies of cancer 
. I would suggest just reading the lot!

Oh sorry - teach me to not read the thread properly! Cut is ok as far as I can recall, and definitely the last one: 'The day the angels came'.

They are wonderful. I don't normally like this genre but they are very well written.
Love em.
