Jackson' s mother, Kayla, can no longer cope. Having tragically lost her husband and son, Kayla is crippled with grief and unable to manage Jackson' s challenging behaviour. Aggressive, confrontational, and often running away, Jackson' s mother puts him into foster care. He remains volatile. Cathy, his carer, encourages Jackson to talk about what has happened but he won' t engage. His actions continue to test and worry everyone. Adrian, Cathy' s son, fears for her safety. Then in a dramatic turn of events, the true reason for Jackson' s behaviour comes to light, and it' s far darker than Cathy could ever have imagined. . .
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. Cathy has always had an interest in writing, combining fostering with occasional freelance journalism and commercial writing, usually when a particular issue stirs her passion. Before the success of Damaged she had written on health and social issues for the Guardian, the Evening Standard, Luton News, and the Hemel Gazette. 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 Damanged was published in 2007, having sold over 2 million copies across her titles worldwide.
