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.

A Family Torn Apart, a Sunday Times bestselling book, is a powerful autobiography by bestselling author Cathy Glass. It explores the challenging dynamics of fostering and adoption, and the devastating effects of abuse on personal relationships. This bestseller offers a unique perspective on the social realities of a family in crisis.

For fans of Maggie Hartley (Nobody Loves Me), Ann Cusack (Groomed by a Gang), Joe Cusack (Abandoned), Linda Watson-Brown (Trapped), and Veronica Clark (Deep Deception).
