I would recommend the book to anyone who wants a good insider's account of the care system. It is uniquely powerful. - Dr Jim Goddard, Chair, The Care Leavers' Association Ms Cherry says her ambition is to describe how it 'feels' to be a child in care - and in that she succeeds beautifully. With the gift of a true story-teller, she uses her own experience of being in care and those of others to give voice to an often hidden population. Honest, intelligent and highly readable - this book is worth a hundred academic tomes to anyone who wants to truly understand what it means to have been a looked after child. This is a must read for policy makers. Shahid Naqvi, British Association of Social Workers
