Like many people I have read the reports of abused children in the newspapers but it wasn’t until I read Damaged that I really understood the effect it has on the child. I was horrified, enthralled, and in tears by the end. This book is written by an experienced foster carer and she describes so clearly the effect the dreadful abuse has on the child, and also the effect it has on her family when they hear the little girl talk about what she has suffered. This book is one of the most moving books I have ever read, I couldn’t put it down. It also gives a real insight into fostering and the social services, I hope they take note.
