A Family Friend

The new fostering memoir from the Sunday Times bestselling author Casey Watson

With his young mother in and out of prison, Sammy has been in care since he was nine years old. Left feeling entirely alone, he has never had a proper safe haven.

There is one person looking out for Sammy: his neighbour, 'Uncle Kenny'. But while Sammy may turn to Kenny for comfort, alarm bells soon start to ring for experienced foster carer Casey Watson...

Will Casey be able to save Sammy before it's too late?

Casey Watson's latest work, a poignant autobiography, unravels the intricate dynamics of adoption and the impact of an unstable family environment on a child's psyche. This non-fiction best-seller is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

For fans of Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Please Save Me), Ashley Rhodes-Courter (Three Little Words), Katy Weitz (Undercover Copper), and Veronica Clark (Deep Deception).
