About this listen
The latest title from the internationally bestselling author and foster carer Cathy Glass.
Beth is a sweet-natured child who appears to have been well looked after. But it isn’t long before Cathy begins to have concerns that the relationship between Beth and her father is not as it should be.
Little Beth, aged 7, has been brought up by her father Derek after her mother left when she was a toddler. When Derek is suddenly admitted to hospital with psychiatric problems Beth is taken into care and arrives at Cathy’s.
Beth and her father clearly love each other very much and Derek spoils his daughter, treating her like a princess, but there is something bothering Cathy, something she can’t quite put her finger on.
Meanwhile Cathy’s husband is working away a lot and coming home less at weekends. Then, suddenly, everything changes. Events take a dramatic turn for both Beth and Cathy and her family; as Cathy strives to pick up the pieces all their lives are changed forever.

Great book
Excellent and touching story and narrative. A subject rarely shared about that openly. Will listen to more of her books.

One of Glass’ better outings
After the atrociously written and deeply frustrating “The Innocents”, I was about ready to give up on Glass and her often monotonous and repetitive writing. But I’m glad I gave this one a shot, as it is one of the more concise, personal and interesting works she’s done. It does suffer still from her usual issues of repetition and speaking as if to a potential foster parent in a clinical tone, but to far less of an extent than many of her other books. This is perhaps thanks to the events of her personal life, which unfolded in eerie tandem with this particular foster child. I really felt for Cathy and her family, as well as for the foster child and her family. I had never heard of Emotional Incest before, and was very compelled by the slow build up and eventual diagnosis of the situation. While no sexual abuse occurred, the unusual relationship between the child and her father is unsettling, even as you feel great compassion for the father and the various problems he had, mostly thanks to Cathy’s pains to describe the tragedy in his life, the mental health struggles he faced and tried to treat, and the prejudice he encountered as a single father. It kept me on a razor’s edge of anxiety, both wanting the child to return to her loving father but fearing what might happen if she did and the relationship continued as it had been.
A top-tier Glass book for sure.
