Bestselling author and foster carer Casey Watson shares the shocking true story of Tyler, an abused eleven-year-old who, after stabbing his step-mother, had nowhere else to go.
Knowing a little of Tyler’s past – his biological mother, a heroin addict, died of an overdose when he was three – Casey feels bound to do her best for him. It isn’t easy; Tyler continuously lashes out, even trying to attack Casey herself. Investigation into his earlier childhood reveals why: forced to watch his mother die he was found emaciated and traumatised two days later, then delivered to a father who didn’t want him and a step-mother who beat him.
With the horrific events of his past now vividly affecting the course of his present, Casey and her husband Mike are determined to veer him away from the violence and drugs they fear he will come to depend on.
Heartbreaking and profoundly moving, Nowhere to Go tells the story of a child forsaken by his family but fought for by his foster carers.

Jobbig uppläsare! Synd att hon är uppläsare till nästan alla Casey Watson böcker :/

Säkert en jättebra bok om man får läsa den själv. Med denna uppläsare får man öka hastigheten på spelaren till 1.25 men var även beredd på att behöva höja och sänka volymen mellan varven.. otroligt ojämn uppläsare!

Jag skulle ha något I bakgrunden och trodde boken handlade om ett fall jag hört om tidigare. Jag hade fel. Boken var typen som skulle kallats bladvändare, om jag läst den i fysisk form. Och det var ett fall som jag inte hört förut. Omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig!

Intressant och bra händelser iom verklighetsbaserad. Ej litterär text.Roligt med berättarens olika röster. Ger en annan karaktär på flera av personerna än jag tänkt mig med den svenska rösten.

Jag skulle ge ett bättre betyg om det inte var för inläsaren. Urjobbig. Svår att förstå ibland, särskilt när Tyler talade.
