A powerful review for Mummy's Little Helper...
14 Apr 2013
"Few times in my life I have had a book call out to me to purchase it, but that day as I was getting settled in Morrison’s mobility scooter with my young daughter by my side, I knew I had to read it. I have often wondered about the care system in the UK and what happens to people who enter it. This book was about a little girl who had to go into foster care when her mother collapsed whilst out shopping. At parts I felt like the first person narration was trying too hard to create a good impression about the foster parent (I hadn’t realised then that this was a true story; you see, I leafed through the beginning and just went on reading, unable to put the book down.) Soon I was immersed in the personal stories of the main characters: the foster carer, the little girl and her ailing mother. There is a mystery which slowly unravels and the end is cathartic. In some strange way, this book has opened up a spy hole into the world of a child who is also a carer for a sick parent. A child who may not show it openly but suffers nevertheless in their effort to make sense of the world around them and keep it from crumbling to pieces. I don’t want to say too much and spoil it for you, but this is a book that is worth reading if you are not afraid of shedding a tear or two. And if you are a parent yourself, then this book might be an eye opener." Mummy’s Little Helper
