Cathy Glass, international bestselling author, tells the shocking story of Zeena, a young Asian girl desperate to escape from her family.
When 14 -year-old Zeena begs to be taken into care with a non-Asian family, she is clearly petrified. But of what?
Placed in the home of experienced foster carer Cathy and her family, Zeena gradually settles into her new life, but misses her little brothers and sisters terribly. Prevented from having any contact with them by her family who insist she has brought shame and dishonour on the whole community, Zeena tries to see them at school. But when her father and uncle find out, they bundle her into a car and threaten to set fire to her if she makes anymore trouble. Zeena is too frightened to press charges against them despite being offered police protection in a safe house.
Eventually, Cathy discovers the devastating truth from Zeena, and with devastation she believes there is little she can do to help her.

Otroliga historier!!! Synd att det dröjer ända tills nästa år innan nästa avsnitt :( men den som väntar på något gott... Skönt att uppläsaren inte gjorde sitt "Långben" skratt, även om jag har lärt mig "tåla" henne men vissa saker är irriterande fortfarande. Dock är det värt att lyssna till henne för böckerna är fantastiska!

BladvändareSorgligTankeväckandeThis is the fourth Cathy Glass I've read and I find her stories really interesting, seeing since they're based on real people, real pasts and real pains. I started crying at the end when Zeena was at the safe house and phoned Cathy in tears. I'm amazed by Cathy's strenght and big heart. Worth reading, it was so easy to keep reading chapter after chapter after chapter...
