Where has Mummy Gone?
Cathy Glass
When Cathy, a foster carer with many years experience, is asked to foster Melody, aged eight, she is convinced she’s heard it all before. Melody is the last of five siblings to be taken into care.

Many children who come into care worry about their parents but this is unlike anything Cathy has experienced before. Then when her mother suddenly disappears what has really been going on at home becomes all too clear.
