A Family Friend

Casey Watson

Summary

There was only one man Sammy could turn to… 
With his young mother in and out of prison, Sammy has been in care since he was nine years old. Left feeling entirely alone, he has never had a proper safe haven. 
There is one person looking out for Sammy: his neighbour, ‘Uncle Kenny’. But while Sammy may turn to Kenny for comfort, alarm bells soon start to ring for experienced foster carer Casey Watson… 
Will Casey be able to save Sammy before it’s too late? 
Perfect for readers who were moved by Casey's previous titles Little Girl Lost, I Want My Daddy, and I Just Want to Be Loved – powerful true stories of vulnerable children, resilience, and the life-changing impact of foster care. 
A FAMILY FRIEND is a non-fiction memoir about relationships and family, where a child’s survival depends on whether the truth about abuse is seen in time. Written by the Sunday Times bestselling author, this latest best-selling autobiography draws on Casey Watson’s work to reveal the social pressures around care and adoption. 
For fans of Ann Cusack (Under Their Roof), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Sins of the Father), Ashley Rhodes-Courter (Three Little Words), and Katy Weitz (Undercover Copper).
