About this audiobook

Angie, 6, and sister Polly, 4, are utterly distraught when they arrive to stay with foster carer Cathy Glass. Their older half-sister Ashleigh has accused their father of something horrible, and the two young sisters have been removed from home to keep them safe.

Cathy tries to comfort the girls, but they are inconsolable. They just want their mummy and daddy, whom they love dearly.

The girls appear to have been well looked after, but as they settle and start to talk of life at home, it becomes clear something is badly wrong. Then a chance remark sets in motion a chain of events that eventually changes everything.

Ratings and reviews

Far too much about Covid! Constant mentions of face coverings, sanitising hands and social distancing meant I very nearly gave up on this book several times. The ending was completely predictable from very early on. Wish I hadn't wasted so many hours on this book!

as always an amazing read by our cathy , i have all her books and on audio also as i enjoy daneca reading also as harper collins always use her and shes also amazing with voice changes and making the story come alive in ur ears , i also have all of the lisa stone collection i cant wait for the next , and never get sick of going back to start the storys again just to refresh , as a mother of 4 special needs children and a survivour of abuse and losing my father in 2021 at 63 most of ur books i feel i connect with , u are amazing and ur family are too xx

boring and monotonous
