Rendition Conducive To Books Crying for Help: The Shocking True Story of a Damaged Girl with a Dark Past

Two weeks after saying farewell to her first foster child, Casey is asked to look after Sophia, a troubled 12-year-old with a sad past. Sophia’s actions are disturbing and provocative and, before long, Casey and her family find themselves in a dark and dangerous situation.

Two years ago Sophia’s mother had a terrible accident. Sophia has been in care ever since.

Right away, Casey feels something isn’t right. Sophia’s a well-developed girl, who looks more like 18 than 12. She only seems to have eyes and ears for men, and treats all women with contempt and disgust. And she has everyone around her jumping through hoops.

Over time, as more details begin to emerge about Sophia’s past, it becomes clear that her behaviour is a front for an early life filled with pain and suffering. But although Casey feels she is gradually breaking through to Sophia and getting her to open up about things she has never spoken about before, her violence is threatening the safety of the whole family, forcing Casey to question whether she can really handle this lost and damaged girl.

Both shocking and inspiring, this true story will shed new light on the extreme and sometimes dangerous nature of foster care.

Hard to say I liked this book, considering the subject matter, but it was well written. Except I wish the author would quit ending each chapter with "little did I know how wrong I was/how much my life would change/the worst was yet to come..."

A book I found difficult to put down, with the many emotions I felt while reading it. This story of Casey and Mike, such a caring couple, taking on the foster care of Sophia, a young girl who had such attitude, but was soon found to have many complicated issues. I admired them so much for all that they went through, yet they were still determeined to help this very troubled young girl. I was astounded at the lack of help and information they were given; so much of the Sophia's background was

**may be spoilers**I have read other books by Casey Watson and have really enjoyed them, however this has to be one of my favourite's so far.I do want to start by pointing out one this I have noticed however and it's that I have noticed how the images on the front of her books don't always match with the story inside. For example, the front of this book shows a young child, maybe 3-4 years old approx; but the story is about a young teen of 12. I noticed this with another book of hers also. I am

Little Did We Know....Its a shame the writing style of this book wasnt of better quality, I felt Sophias story deserved more. Unfortunately the majority of the chapters ended with Little did we know... or very similar phrases, which, to me at least didnt do the storytelling any justice, and so I ended up getting more frustrated in that than truly getting emotionally invested in what was happening. This however, does not negate the harrowing experiences of both Sophia and the Watson Family, so I

If this would have been the first book, it would have been the only one by this author that I would have read. It got to the point where the incidents were becoming almost like an elongated list. It was constantly repeated that this author felt as if she wasn't getting appropriate help for her charge and not being listened to with the severity of the situation. The problem with this was that it went on for most of the book and never seemed to get anywhere. It was a relief when it finally ended.

This one was intense, but great to read and see how much good can be done. It reminded my of my days in the girls home and all the intense situations I found myself in. This family trained to take the most extreme situations and we won't be doing that, but I loved her good attitude and dedication despite the problems. The most telling thing was how her kids (adults- only one living in the house) were so supportive even when they had "bad" things happen to them. It was worth it to them to
