Can I let you go? by Cathy Glass
Blurb from Amazon
Can I Let You Go? is the true story of Faye, a wonderful young woman who may never be able to parent her unborn child.
Faye is 24, pregnant, and has learning difficulties as a result of her mother’s alcoholism. Faye is gentle, childlike and vulnerable, and normally lives with her grandparents, both of whom have mobility problems. Cathy and her children welcome Faye into their home and hearts. The care plan is for Faye to stay with Cathy until after the birth when she will return home and the baby will go for adoption. Given that Faye never goes out alone it is something of a mystery how she ever became pregnant and Faye says it’s a secret.
To begin with Faye won’t acknowledge she is pregnant or talk about the changes in her body as she worries it will upset her grandparents, but after her social worker assures her she can talk to Cathy she opens up. However, this leads to Faye realizing just how much she will lose and she changes her mind and says she wants to keep her baby.
Is it possible Faye could learn enough to parent her child? Cathy believes it is, and Faye’s social worker is obliged to give Faye the chance.
I have always loved Cathys books and how much work cathy does for them in need of her care. And wonder how some people actually live there lives and how cruel some people are but then you have the wonderful cathy there to help out with children who needs to be looked after.
As always cathy has delivered on every book shes written and this is her view on her live as a foster carer. And it only takes me a day or two to get through her books. These books help me get over my book hangovers from any previous books i have read as theses books just grab you and tug at your heart strings.
I loved faye and how much she thought that she wanted to keep her grandparents happy and thought that the best thing was to have her baby adopted and wih the help of cathy and becky fayes social worker went through all the options even to see if faye could learn to look after her baby. But im pleased of the outcome and I cant wait to find her next book.
I will always recommend cathy to other people always who are struggling to find there next reads i think cathy will always be my next favourite author to read always a 5 star read
