    About this audiobook

    ‘I’m so sorry, Casey,’ my link worker John said, sounding weary. ‘I know this is probably the worst time I could ring you, but we desperately need someone to take a child tonight.’

    It’s the night before Christmas when Casey and Mike get the call. A twelve year old girl, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Her father is on a ventilator, fighting for his life, while her mother is currently on remand in prison. Despite claiming she attacked him in self-defence, she’s been charged with his attempted murder.

    The girl is called Bella, and she’s refusing to say anything. The trouble is that she is also the only witness…

    Casey Watson

    Casey Watson, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer. She and her husband, Mike, look after children who are particularly troubled or damaged by their past. Before becoming a foster carer Casey was a behaviour manager for her local comprehensive school. It was through working with these ‘difficult’ children – removed from mainstream classes for various reasons – that the idea for her future career was born. Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren.

      Such a wonderful but sad read yet again from Casey, but I love her and Mike's attitude towards the children they foster. They dont allow them to walk over them but allow them to explore themselves as young people and help them in every way possible, my favourite so far is definatley Keleighs Story. But again another fab read! Onto Skin Deep now! xo

      This is my favorite of her books so far! I shows me the hope in reunification and encourage me on my own foster parent journey.
