Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was excited to plan my son’s wedding. I was sure that everyone would want to be there, and I wanted to be able to enjoy the moment. My husband, on the other hand, preferred enjoying the here and now.
#2 I had told Christine Bolton, my supervising social worker, to make a note that I was going into full-on spring-clean mode and would be ready to return to the fostering coal face at the beginning of June. But that was still almost a fortnight away.
#3 I was asked to do a week’s respite for a 14-year-old girl named Elise Blackwell. She had lived all over the place with her father, then with her mother, then with her paternal grandmother, and so on.
#4 The girl was eventually placed in care, and her parents never spoke to each other again. Her father had a new partner, and the two families moved in together. Elise started playing up to get her father’s attention.
