Cruel to be kind by Cathy Glass.

BLURB FROM AMAZON.
Cruel To Be Kind is the true story of Max, aged 6. He is fostered by Cathy while his mother is in hospital with complications from type 2 diabetes.
Fostering Max gets off to a bad start when his mother, Caz, complains and threatens Cathy even before Max has moved in. Cathy and her family are shocked when they first meet Max. But his social worker isn’t the only one in denial; his whole family are too.


The one author who always grabs me and keeps me hooked always through and is one who knows how to write a good book. Cathy and her family have taken in foster children and help them through whatever situations they have been through.

When Cathy is asked to look after Max as his mother is in hospital and his sisters left him home alone she didn’t expect to see a boy who is only 6 so overweight she cant help wondering how his family let him get the size he is. But when the boys mother rings Cathy up tells her to give max whatever he wants and not to hurt her boy and was really abrupt with her she got a glimpse off whats to come while she has max.

When Cathy met Caz at the hospital she didn’t get the warm welcome she had hoped she would get from Caz and her daughters and could understand why max was so overweight that she wouldn’t be able to help max unless Caz agreed with it.

Once Caz is home things change for Cathy and Caz they seem to build bridges and as soon as max is home they keep in touch with them and then when Cathy finds out that Caz has passed away she wonders what has happened to max. But after a while Cathy and her family have got on with her live until Cathy receives a letter off max which takes her by surprise even more when he comes to visit her and tells her what hes been up to since he left her.

Another 5 star read from me I would recommend Cathy books to everyone they wouldn’t be  disappointed
