Simplified Product Title: A Long Way from Home

Anna, the 2 year-old who had been abandoned by her natural parents and left alone in a neglected orphanage, was now living in foster care with me, despite being wanted, loved and cherished by her adoptive parents Elaine and Ian, who had traveled halfway around the world to adopt her. It didn't make sense, until I learned the true story of what had happened.

The children in the orphanage, dressed only in nappies and ragged T-shirts, were confined to their cots, with blank stares in their emaciated faces. Some were obviously disabled, while others were not, but all of them were severely undernourished. Flies swarmed around the broken ceiling fans and buzzed against the grids covering the windows. There were only a few balls and a handful of building bricks for toys, and no child even played with them. The unnatural and deafening silence filled the room, with not a single infant crying or speaking.

Cathy Glass's book 'Unsafe' achieved the No.1 spot on the Sunday Times bestseller list for the week commencing on 28th August 2023.
