Adam is a fragile and anxious boy whose relationship with his mother starts to unravel. His mother is seen as ‘wonderful’ and ‘devoted’ to Adam who she works hard for, but all isn’t as it seems.

Eleven year old Adam is taken in by Casey, following his mother’s car accident which left her with a broken pelvis. Casey is told that Adam is not in the best of health and he attends regular medical appointments for an unknown ‘sickness', but isn’t fazed. Casey takes Adam in, believing all will be well and back to normal, reassuring him as well as herself.

Every evening Adam visits his mother and Casey gives them ‘private time’ respecting his and his mother’s time to be alone. Soon enough a pattern begins to emerge as Adam’s health continuously deteriorates after every visit. The level of distress worries Casey who ends up stumbling across the real relationship Adam has with his mother, and Casey finds it’s more sinister than she had known.

Casey Watson's book 'Little Girl Lost' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2024-03-25.

Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren.

Although this is a much shorter story than Casey Watson usually writes, it still is excellent. The stories she writes always seem to have a lesson to tell. Munchausen syndrome is a very serious but little known problem. Casey handled the problem extremely well.

This book was a good read but too short.I read a lot of books on fostering and abused kids. I learned a lot from books I've read and look forward to read more.. I was a foster parent for 5 yrs... I couldn't take letting them go. I respect all foster parents.

Casey does it again; pills is along in a whirlwind of caring somebody else's child. A special needs foster care parent, this time she takes in an eleven year old malnourished shy boy who eats like he has a hollow leg and who is extra sensitive and loving towards his poor mom who is recovering from emergency surgery. But all is not as it seems.

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoy this author's books and story
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019

I have read all of the books by this author. I enjoy the stories they tell and reading about her life/family as well. There are similarities between the books, but they each tell the story of a different child or children. I think the best recommendation is that I will keep reading her work as it comes out.

This is definitely a great read because, it makes you feel all the emotions and involves the reader on every level. Casey writes in a way that makes you feel like you are right there with her.
My only complaint is that it was not long enough.
I would recommend this book.

Another heartwarming story, well written and very true to life. It shows how amazing foster carers are and the difficult situations that they deal with to help the children in their care.
