Daddy’s Little Princess: An emotional fostering story from the Sunday Times bestselling author

I have read several of Kathy Glass' books in the past and have enjoyed them and have learned so much from them. This book is no exception, it has hit an emotional nerve with me and I had a hard time putting it down, and I really didn't want it to end. I wanted to know more of Kathy's wonderful family. Kathy is such a good writer, she captures the reader and never lets go until the end of her story. I would highly recommend reading this wonderful, hope fill book. I look forward to her next story.

I always love reading a book that discusses a topic in a slightly different way. Cathy Glass's stories of children she has fostered nearly always touch on the tragedy of abuse whether sexual or physical or emotional. This story explores abuse of a much more insidious nature that is not immediately apparent but when it becomes obvious and explained it is quite horrifying and just as damaging and difficult for the little girl to recover from. This is also a story of the sometimes redemptive power of good therapy and therapists to enable a father and daughter to be reunited and to raise understanding that sometimes reunification is possible and people can turn their lives around and address the underlying issues that led them to become unfit for parenting at one time. I found this book engrossing, riveting, disturbing, enlightening and ultimately heart lifting.

I enjoy all of Cathy Glass's books. This one, not quite so much, although I still found it very interesting. I like Cathy's writing style and the way she weaves her own family's story into the plot.I am sorry John turned out to be having an affair and put it above his family in his priorities. Thank goodness for Cathy's wonderful parents. This book also shows how much Cathy has grown as a foster carer since she had Beth- this was one of her first abused foster children. She was much meeker and unsure of how to handle things back then. The emotional incest was an intriguing phenomenon. I think it seemed obvious to the reader, because Cathy could not write on and on about subtle intangible feelings. The reader knows right from the 'I sleep in my Daddy's bed' and the photographs, as well as the inappropriate clothes and phone calls that Beth did not have a healthy relationship with her father. It is a shame her social worker was not helpful at first. It is so wonderful that this family managed to get therapy and end the emotional incest. Cathy was so kind to Beth and supportive of everyone invoved. Glad to hear in the updates that Beth has done remarkably well. Kudos to Cathy, Beth and all involved. Keep writing, please, Cathy! My only slightly critical comments are that the book seemed a bit rushed- a few times idioms were used several times, there were a few repetitive passages, and the writing style was not quite up to CG's usual standard. However , I am looking forward to her next book The Child Bride.

This is a very good story, Cathy Glass takes in a little girl named Beth, whose father went into a mental hospital. Her mother abandoned her father and herself when Beth was a toddler. She is seven years old, Cathy's son Adrian's a year younger and her daughter Paula is three. This was one of her first children she cared for. Beth tells Cathy her first night that her daddy sleeps with her, then gets a photograph of him and sticks it under her pillow.Cathy becomes concerned later on when the child goes to visit him in the mental hospital. She walks down Cathy's stars dressed like a tart(The English word for whore). You will have to read this book to find out about Beth and her father's history.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is so well written that I want to keep reading to find out what happens next. I also learn a lot from this wonderful person and will continue to read all of her books.

Not sure why I picked it. Have 3 stars because it reads like something a potential roster carer should read. Lack of problems in caregiving maybe a bit unreal. Slow read at some times. I don't think a good book club read. At least not for mine. Was eye opening as far as diagnosis of situation. I would say rare.

This is a very sad and emotional story. Brought me to tears. My heart went out to Cathy when her husband left her thru no fault of her own. Such an SOB. Great story and must read.

This story was fascinating and very emotional. It taught me things i didn't even know. I couldn't put this book down. And it made me cry. A must read !! I don't want to say much to give the plot away. Just read this book. And i am going to buy some more of her books. Very well written. Cathy is from the UK so some of her wording is hard to figure out. But you get the just of it. You won't regret buying this book. I highly recommend it.
