Descriere Crying for Help: The Shocking True Story of a Damaged Girl with a Dark Past - Casey Watson

\nThe second book from Sunday Times bestselling author Casey Watson.\n \nTwo weeks after saying farewell to her first foster child, Casey is asked to look after Sophia, a troubled 12-year-old with a sad past. Sophia's actions are disturbing and provocative and, before long, Casey and her family find themselves in a dark and dangerous situation.\n \nTwo years ago Sophia's mother had a terrible accident. Sophia has been in care ever since.\n \nRight away, Casey feels something isn't right. Sophia's a well-developed girl, who looks more like 18 than 12. She only seems to have eyes and ears for men, and treats all women with contempt and disgust. And she has everyone around her jumping through hoops.\n \nOver time, as more details begin to emerge about Sophia's past, it becomes clear that her behaviour is a front for an early life filled with pain and suffering. But although Casey feels she is gradually breaking through to Sophia and getting her to open up about things she has never spoken about before, her violence is threatening the safety of the whole family, forcing Casey to question whether she can really handle this lost and damaged girl.\n \nBoth shocking and inspiring, this true story will shed new light on the extreme and sometimes dangerous nature of foster care.\n
