Kindle Customer: Although advised against it, Casey accepts a complicated Mother-Baby placement. Seth a swearing out of control 4 year old, Tommy a newborn and their 19 years old mother who is newly released from prison. With unloving foul moth parents Mom has no idea how to be a living mother. This is a complicated story where Mom must fight Social Services whose plan is to put the children up for adoption. Casey Watson is an excellent writer. Enjoy her stories and have read all of them. I look forward to a new one soon.

Sara Burke: I Always Just love CASEY WATSON & her Books this book is AMAZING!
It was an Intense Emotional Rollercoaster that had my utterly gripped from start to finish. A case where Casey is challenges with trying to make a delinquent teenage mum, newly released from jail, her 4yo son and newborn boy, born in jail, into some kind of family unit.
The trials and pains faced by Casey and this little family are intense and Casey takes you along for the ride, taking you on the emotional rollercoaster she and this dysfunctional young family had to ensure, and try to survive.
I dont want to give to much away. But is say without a doubt this is a must read!!!

Linda Heckman: I really enjoyed reading this book, couldn't wait to see how it was going to work out. What I did not like is every sentence beginning with "and".

Arlind Hackett: This book is hard to put down. Shows the horrific, lasting effects of parental abuse, and the restorative power of love.

Lawrence Hinchee: As usual Casey does a wonderful job in telling the stories of the children in her care. This placement seemed to be a very challenging and difficult one for Casey and the family

Karen McGarry: As always, Casey doesn't disappoint with her fostering memoirs and Mummy, Please Don't Leave is not an exception. I read it in one session, through the night!! Here she is telling us of her time with Jenna (teenage mum) and her 2 boys, baby Tommy and 4 year old Seth. At the beginning of the book, Casey is feeling a bit lonely as her and Mike have had a break from fostering for a few months. She persuades her family that she and they are up to fostering again. When talking to her social worker, she encourages her to tell Casey more about this difficult to place family and the circumstances around them .......
Foster carers should be spotlighted more - they work incredibly hard with children and young people who are having a challenging time and make a difference to each and every child they help.
