Mummy Told Me Not to Tell by Cathy Glass Book Summary

When Reece arrives at Cathy's door aged 7 years old, he has already passed through the hands of four different carers in four weeks. As the details of his short life emerge, it becomes clear that to help him, Cathy will face her biggest challenge yet.

The latest title from the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged.

Reece is the last of six siblings to be fostered. Having been in care for four months his aggressive and disruptive behaviour has seen him passed from carer to carer. Although only 7, he has been excluded from school, and bites people so often that his mother calls him 'Sharky'.

Cathy wants to find the answers for Reece’s distressing behaviour, but he has been sworn to secrecy by his mother, and will not tell them anything. As the social worker prepares for the final hearing, he finds five different files on Reece’s family, and is incredulous that he had not been removed from them as a baby. When the darkest of family secrets is revealed to Cathy, Reece’s behaviour suddenly starts to make sense, and together they can begin to rebuild his life.

About the author

Cathy runs training courses on fostering for her local Social Services, and helps draft new fostering procedures and guidelines. She has three teenage children of her own; one of whom was adopted after a long-term foster placement. The name Cathy Glass is a pseudonym.

Tedious. Author believes she knows more then anyone else involved. She is so busy crowning herself a Saint the book gets real tedious. A lot of misspelled words.

Heartbreaking but beautiful story. This story was truly heartbreaking but in the end it was magical to see a special little boy loved and treasured by so many different people. Cathy Glass has touched my life with her foster care memoirs. Thank you for sharing your stories, Cathy xx

A broken boy with a beautiful ending. Beautiful story of a beautiful little boy and a career who took time to show him love. God really did take care of Reece. Cathy, thank you for being a blessing to so many precious children. ❤️

Fantastic. This is a fantastic book has you gripped from the word go It just shows what some poor kids go through in life unreal

Mummy told me not to tell. Excellent. Brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness and tears of foreboding. Cathy's writing is clear, easily understood and without unnecessary frills. It was beautiful to hear how Reece's English had improved when Cathy and the girls visited, in the epilogue. On to the next book almost instantaneously. L

An emotional read. I love all the Cathy Glass books it really got me interested in fostering and what it involves. It's quite sad in parts but there are many happy parts. This book is not for you if you don't like sad books. People say I'm sad and don't get why I read these kind of books. But it gives a better insight it to what goes on in others lives and how lucky I am.  six

Mommy told me not to Tell. Reece is such an amazing little boy. The wait of the world on such little shoulders. This is a great book, thank you Cathy for sharing his story. Reece came a long way. I could feel how proud you were of him. I will alway think of him whenever I see a seagull.

Amazing book. Truly heart warming. I really felt for Reece and wanted him to succeed. More so when I found out his deep dark secret.

Mommy told me not to tell. By Cathy Glass. I would recommend this book to any, social worker, therapist, or Professional Psychologist, in working with Emotional Disturbance in children. Or any one, understanding what children can go through Not properly cared for. And to listen to children, they usually don’t tell lies. They need understanding of there situation, & help.,& Love, to try to lead or coping for a normal life.
