i brought this the other day too, only up to about chapter 4 but think its soooooo good!! cos its a real story isnt it? the author is the foster mother in the story i think.
i need to start reading a bit quicker and stop sleeping too much :)
have you found any of it triggering? i havent so far but i havent got to any sh bits yet. x
this pic is so i can always remember jen who was my l'il sock monkey friend who has left ryl and i miss her!!!
The fact its a true story means when your reading it you sort of... connect more if that makes sense?
Em
x
yeh i would definitely agree!
i dont know whether the actual sh or OD would trigger me, but i think the story itself maybe triggering in itself cos of it being real and just cos she so little and vunerable.... i know i started around the same age too, but now it seems a long time ago and dont remember being that small....just makes me wanna give them a huggle x

I love Cathy Glass, I think she is a fantastic author.
The only problem is, once I start reading I can't stop and the next thing I know hours have passed and I have done nothing!
I read Cut and Damaged in 2 days each.
She's releasing a new one around Winter time I think. x

Allie, Mutt, Great Grandma, Hope and Humbug. I love you and miss you all. xx
I read it a couple of months ago and thought it was really good. I didn't find any of it to be triggering but then again I don't find that sort of stuff to be.
i really really love cathy glass... i would even go as far as to say that she is my favourate author. i consider her to be a truelly inspiring person... so much so that by reading her books i have realised that i would love to be a foster carer when i grow up. i recommend her work to anyone. she writes in a way that draws you in and expresses her own feelings about specific situations tremendously well.
I read it and thought it was good, although it's a shame we didn't get to learn more about how Dawn managed to recover. Obviously though the author herself didn't know so that couldn't be helped!
I've just bought 'Damaged' and look forward to reading it.
I am planning on getting a hold of these at some point but do have a lot of books to be reading, including uni ones, but I think these ones are a def going to get!
Devil x
You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
i read Damaged and thought it was wonderful, if very sad/triggering. i'm reluctant to read Cut - how old is the child in it? i suppose if she's a teenager i could maybe deal with it, but not if she's a child. because she looks like a child on the front cover.

Reason: added something
she is 13 when she comes to live with the author, i thought the sam about the pic on the front but it explains in one of the first few chapters that she was very small for her age.
a i havent read all of it, i dont know what the age of when her problems started.
(without completely high jackin the post what is damaged about briefly?)
