As always with Casey Watson an excellent book about fostering and the horrors that these children go through

So sad. Miller has had such a tragic life, and I’m glad he seemed to get the help he needed in the end.

This was a fantastic book, I am a big fan of this author and really enjoy all her books. What I liked most about this one is that Casey did not sugar coat anything and showed that despite being a good foster carer and very successful that not everything is perfect. It was clearly a difficult placement but the fact she tried everything possible to help Miller was amazing specially with the amount of problems he clearly suffered. I found this book a very good read and can't wait for the next offering by this author.

Book: A Boy Without Hope
Author: Casey Watson
Star Rating:
Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse

This book was a first for me by the wonderful author Casey Watson but it will not be my last! This book was an eye
opening page turner of a young boy of twelve who has spent the majority of his life in care who Casey and her family takes in as a foster child. We follow through the struggles that Casey goes through to try and give this young boy as best a life as she can!

It was extremely harrowing to read such an in-depth and honest account of Casey's experiences with this young
boy! Casey is a wonderful, incredible person and an inspiration to us all!

I would highly recommend this book, it was truly eye opening! I already have jotted down some of the names of
others she has written!!

I feel bad for giving this two stars. While I found it interesting to hear about foster care. I just felt like this story went on and on without truly reaching a real ending. I think I needed more details about what happened after she stopped having him around so much. I also felt like I didn't get to know Miller. I felt bad for him.

Amazing book it good to see what can happen to a child that is moved from carer to carer
