The latest title from the internationally bestselling author and foster carer, Cathy Glass.

Beth is a sweet-natured child who appears to have been well looked after. However, it isn't long before Cathy begins to have concerns that the relationship between Beth and her father is not as it should be.

Little Beth, aged 7, has been brought up by her father, Derek, after her mother left when she was a toddler. When Derek is suddenly admitted to hospital with psychiatric problems, Beth is taken into care and arrives at Cathy's.

Beth and her father clearly love each other very much and Derek spoils his daughter, treating her like a princess. Yet there is something bothering Cathy, something she can't quite put her finger on.

Meanwhile, Cathy's husband is working away a lot and coming home less at weekends. Then, suddenly, everything changes. Events take a dramatic turn for both Beth, and for Cathy and her family; as Cathy strives to pick up the pieces, all their lives are changed forever.

Daddy’s Little Princess by Cathy Glass is a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of family dynamics and the profound impact of unexpected events.

About the Author

Cathy Glass is a pseudonym. She has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 100 children, of all ages and backgrounds. Cathy runs training courses on fostering for her local Social Services, and helps draft new fostering procedures and guidelines. Cathy has three teenage children of her own; one of whom, Lucy, was adopted after a long-term foster placement.

She is also a published fiction writer, with poems and short stories published in a number of commercial magazines. Cathy’s books have been constantly in the best-seller charts since Damaged was published in 2007, having sold over 2 million copies across her titles worldwide.
