Happy Adults - Jan 2012
The secret to happiness and contentment
Cathy's books have been constantly in the best-seller charts since Damaged was published in February 2007. Cathy now has 11 books published and together
they have sold over 1.3 million copies world-wide. She has been overwhelmed by the response from readers, thousands of whom have emailed her, sending
their love and best wishes, saying how moved they have been by her books, and sharing their own experiences. Some of those emails are in Comments.
Cathy Glass has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 70 children, of all ages and backgrounds.
Her true-life stories show the suffering and courage of some of the most vulnerable children in our society and have world-wide appeal.
Her books are also used extensively by trainers and practitioners, working in childcare and child protection.
"All types of people foster," Cathy says," and fostering becomes a way of life. It is about giving a child who can't live with their natural
family as near a normal family life as possible. Some of the children who come into care have suffered dreadfully, and often you find yourself crying
with them. But if, when they leave you, you have managed to help in some small way and make a difference, then the rewards are immeasurable."
There are updates about the children on the relevant book pages and advice about writing on the Articles page. |
