Dear Cathy, I came across your books a couple of years ago when I had only read a couple of books. I suffer from dyslexia but your books have changed my life, since picking the first one up I can’t stop. I have read them in chronological order and I love each and every one. You are such an inspiring woman and every child that steps foot into your home is very lucky. I can’t wait to read more and I keep recommending your books to others they are 100% the best books out there, continue to inspire you are amazing thank you! Kind regards

Dear Cathy, ​I am writing to you because I recently finished reading your book, “Damaged,” and I felt compelled to reach out. I wanted to tell you how beautifully and sensitively you shared Jodie’s story. It is a book that has truly touched my life and stayed with me long after I turned the final page. ​Your dedication as a foster mother is inspiring, and the care you show for the children in your home is evident in every word you write.

Hello Cathy, I would like to say thank you for your amazing books. It is hard to believe the things some children have to go through. You are a very caring & loving person. It is easy to see Fostering is a passion for you. I have enjoyed hearing of your family. All the happy and sad times in your life, but you still managed to go on, shows what a caring and loving person you are. Kind Regards

Hello Cathy, I love your books and I’m finally starting my foster carer journey. I’m a 33-year-old male, a single dad of a 6-year-old son, and I’ve wanted to foster since I was young, as my grandparents fostered me. I’m going through all the checks atm. I’m getting nervous, but really looking forward to it.  I would like to thank you for all you have done for the children you have helped over the years. My late grandmother always said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re in a child’s life for a day or 18 years, the love you give helps them grow. Thank you.

Good evening. Wow, your books always bring tears to my eyes …just finished An Innocent Baby and it’s astonishing how kids are treated by people who is supposed to love them. They are very lucky there are people like you out there ready to lead them down the right path. You’re books are an inspiration to all Cathy. Keep being you, and keep writing. Love

I am obsessed with your books. It started when I was given your book Damaged. Your books and your commitments to those children as well as your own is amazing. I’m a teen mum and she’s 5 now. I pray nothing bad ever happens to her but your such an inspiration. Thank you so much,

Dear Cathy, myself and my wife have been reading your books from the very beginning. We would personally like to say thank you for being such a truly wonderful human with so much love and care to give. I hope you know it is not just the amazing job you have done over the years fostering the children but the adults you have helped too. You have assisted us to grow to be the best parents we could be. You have taught us so much without trying. We have enjoyed reading about you, your family and your stories and we look forward to more. You are a true inspiration. Kind Regards

Dear Cathy, I started reading your books when I was in class 7, and I am in my final year of masters now. I have reread each your books so many times, that I know each of them by heart.  I teach children, and reading your books immensely helped me in coping with their behavior and build rapport with them. So, thank you for that as well. I wish to become as good with kids as you are. Please wish me luck. Regards

Dear Cathy, I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your work. I first encountered your writing through “Damaged” back in 2014, and it truly captivated me. Since then, I have eagerly awaited each new release and have devoured every single one of your books. As a devoted fan from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and a mother of two, I wanted to share how profoundly your stories have impacted me. Not only “Damaged,” but all of your books and stories about those little ones in need of help have left a significant mark on my heart. They have inspired me to look beyond the surface and provide assistance whenever I sense a need. Thank you for creating such wonderful and inspiring stories that have touched so many lives, including mine. Best regards,

Merci par avance cordialement.  Eve, France, 18/10/2026

Bonjour, Je vous écris de Belgique. J’ai déjà dévoré quelques-uns de vos livres et les suivants viennent d’arriver. Je vous félicite pour votre dévouement mais aussi pour avoir réussi à garder une priorité à vos enfants. A chaque histoire que je lis, je ressens vraiment votre implication pour que ces enfants soient le plus heureux possible malgré un début de vie compliquée. Encore bravo.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your books and the many words you’ve written! I am going through drug recovery, and doing very well if I do say so myself, most days! I haven’t been able to focus on anything whilst going through recovery due to all things that come with drug withdrawal. I used to knit and crochet, I can’t do that currently, but your books, your amazing stories have been a god send. I’m able to sit and read your books anxiety free, completely focused on every word. I go into a comfortable place where I can at last enjoy something. They are my happy place and I just would like to send you some appreciation. Thank you doesn’t cover it but thank you so much. You are so gifted and your gift has helped me. Keep on writing.

Hi Lisa. I just wanted to let you know I am reading The Forever House and I think it is absolutely brilliant. I can picture the house and the atmosphere perfectly. Will definitely be ordering your next one when it becomes available.
Zoe, 28/09/2025.

Dear Cathy, I have only recently come across and been reading your moving books about fostering.  I have been very touched by your compassion. The books are so well narrated by Denica Fairman too. I am writing to say how moved I am by your inexhaustible love and support to so many young children /people through fostering, as well as being a wonderful Mother to your own children. My heart goes out to all those who are suffering from abuse and/or neglect.  I know you feel the same. Best wishes

Dear Cathy, I have read all your books, you have helped me be a mother. I didn’t know how to be a parent, I was also forgotten by the system my mother was a single parent who suffered from bipolar and we had social services in for my eldest brother but no one took a second look at me. I was badly abused from the age 4 till 15. I fell pregnant when I was 18 and I didn’t know how to be a mother and it scared me. When I had my second child I found your books and started reading them and I went to therapy and got the help I needed.
Marie, 28/09/2025

Good afternoon. Your books are just so inspiring. I came from a dysfunctional family. I’ve always wanted to help those children due to not getting the help I needed. I started reading your books and I now know I want to do. What you do. Foster children who need a little extra love and support. I’ve still got a long way to go till then but I’m going to keep reading your books to learn and to stay inspired. Many thanks
Luca, 22/09/2025

Dear Cathy, I was hooked from the first book I read years ago and I have read so many I cannot remember all the titles by now. I also lost interest in books by other authors. I love how you write in an easy way to read, not verbose which bores me and yet enough details to feed my imagination. From you, I learnt about mental health of both kids and adults, not just about fostering or the challenges faced, and I thank you for sharing your most inner thoughts. I believe you are an angel sent from above for all these kids, you have so much love for everyone. May God Bless You and keep you in good health and happiness always.

I am 26 years old, and I have been one of your biggest admirers for many years. I first discovered your books when I was 19, starting with The Child Bride, and since then I have read many more of your works. They have touched my heart deeply and inspired me in countless ways.

Bonjour, Je voulais vous féliciter pour votre travail. Je suis passionné par vos livres. Se sont vraiment des histoires touchantes,et je suis émerveillée par votre travail. Merci de nous faire partager votre passion.
Dominique, France, 27/08/2025

Morning Cathy, I have just finished your book titled “A Life Lost” and read your Mother passed away, I am so sorry for your loss. I took away from your books that your Mother was and will continue to be a huge inspiration, support and integral part of your lives and I am so pleased she got to spend that last Christmas with you and your family. Your books are so moving and I try to find time in this busy life to take just a few minutes each day to sit and read your books before my children wake up. I hope to one day I will be able to foster and make a difference in a child’s life too. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Kind regards.

Hi Cathy.  am training to be a senco. I also re-read your Cathy Glass books every summer during the holidays. I just wanted to say thank you for writing. Reading your books has helped me spot signs of possible abuse or mistreatment in children and also provided inspiration for the kind of teacher and school leader I want to be. I have personally identified with some of the children in your books as I too had a difficult childhood. Nothing on the trauma some of the children you have fostered suffered, but enough that it makes me wish I had been part of a family like yours when I was younger! I have just finished reading about ‘Donna’s’ story and had a similar mother/ daughter relationship so it warmed my heart to read how well she is doing on your updates page. I pray that Jodie has found some peace and love in her life.
Rebecca, 08/08/2025

Hello, I’d just like to say your books are incredible! I go through 1 book every 2 days. I am obsessed with your stories and how brilliant you are. I simply cannot get enough.
Emma, 04/08/2025

Hi Lisa, I absolutely love your books. I think my two favourites so far are The Murder Room and The Gathering and I have The Forever House ready to read. I thought I would email you as wanted to say how much I loved your books.
