Heartbreaking August 22, 2008
First things first, I love this book! It is very well written but the story is unbelievably heartbreaking! I had to put the book down a few times and just take a break from it. The things that happened to this little girl are horrid!!! I've read many books that dealt with child abuse, drug use, and many other books of the kind. But Damaged was the first book I've read that dealt with sexual abuse. Cathy Glass is an amazing foster mother and I commend her for the hard work that she does. I cannot imagine having to learn from the child herself what has happened to her in her short life. It's ridiculous. My heart absolutely breaks for this child. She will be in my heart forever and ever. Thank you Cathy Glass for caring enough to tell this little girls story so that maybe it will help someone who's gone through the same thing. Maybe this story will catch somebody's attention about a child they know of who may be going through sexual abuse and take he or she out of the situation before it is too late. Every child deserves the chance to live a happy childhood. Children are little blessings from Heaven. They are so innocent and fragile. I hate that there are people out there who do not feel the same way. A child's duty is to run in the park, paint pictures of the parents they love, and to just be a child. NO ONE has the right to take that away from a child.

THIS IS ONE BOOK THAT I WILL REMEMBER FOR A LONG TIME. IT LEFT ME WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, I HOPE "EILEEN" IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR SOCIAL SERVICES!!!

This book really made my heart bleed and pound out of angrier for this little girl. Cathy Glass is an amazing woman; she has a great powerful message for all adults who work with children. Try hard to get to know these children who seem to be troubled or are silent and sad. There is so much that can be missed if you don't spend enough time with them. We need more people like Cathy to make a difference. This is a must read book!

Very insightful story told by the foster parent point of view. I could not put the book down and finished reading it in two days. Anyone who works with children should read this, it is a story you will never forget. Thank you Cathy.

If you know someone who doesn't believe child abuse exists, this is a great gift for that person.
If you know someone who is a survivor this is a great book, if you want to understand true feelings, read it.
