I have so much respect for how she opens her home and her heart (and her family does the same) for foster children. She's been doing it for years in "short term" foster situations (which can be more than a year). This case is unusual in that the child isn't initially really being fostered. Michael's mother died when he was a toddler, and now, when he is 8, his father is dying of lung cancer. Michael's father, Patrick, a very kind, loving, and wise father, wishes his son to get to know the foster family before he dies, both so that he can see that the foster family is a good fit, and so that Michael can become comfortable with them before it is forced on him. I loved Michael and Patrick and felt such sympathy for everyone in this book because they were all losing something. Keep the hankies close at hand. Recommended. ( ) I discovered Cathy Glass about a month ago and have enjoyed all her books. This book in particular touched me deeply. This book isn't about an abused child. It is about Michael, an eight year old boy who lost his mother to cancer when he was very young and now must deal with his father's terminal cancer. This is a 2 tissue box book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A new memoir from Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Cathy Glass. When Cathy receives a call about a terminally ill widower terrified of leaving his son all alone in the world, she is wracked with sadness and indecision. Can she risk exposing her own young children to a little boy on the brink of bereavement? Eight year old Michael is part of a family of two, but with his beloved father given only months to live and his mother having died when he was a toddler, he could soon become an orphan. Will Cathy's own young family be able to handle a child in mourning? To Cathy's surprise, her children insist that this boy deserves to be as happy as they are, prompting Cathy to welcome Michael into her home. A cheerful and carefree new member of the family, Michael devotedly prays every night, believing that when the time is right, angels will come and take his Daddy to be with his Mummy in heaven. However, incredibly, in the weeks that pass, the bond between Cathy's family, Michael and his kind and loving father Patrick grows. Even more promising, Patrick is looking healthier than he's done in weeks. But just as they are settling into a routine of blissful normality, an unexpected and disastrous event shatters the happy group, shaking Cathy to the core. Cathy can only hope that her family and Michael's admirable faith will keep him strong enough to rebuild his life. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
