A Boy Without Hope by Casey Watson

Bestselling author and specialist foster carer Casey Watson returns with another gripping true story, A BOY WITHOUT HOPE, on the 1st November. We’re offering five lucky reading groups the chance to read Casey’s book before its public release.

Casey Watson is back, doing the job she does best – rolling up her sleeves and fostering the children who, on first meeting, seem like hopeless cases. But when she meets Miller and discovers the truth about his disturbing childhood, even Casey begins to doubt if this child will ever be able to accept love…

After a torrent of violent behaviour and numerous failed attempts to help Miller, Casey decides to make an intervention, but just how far is Casey willing to go to help Miller and save him from his inner demons?

We’d love to hear what you think about A Boy Without Hope: when your group has finished reading, please do tweet us @HarperNonFic or Casey @caseywatson1, and leave your review on Goodreads and Amazon.
