I usually just stick with Casey Watson and Cathy Glass when it comes to my reading up on foster carriers true stories. Really enjoyed reading Rosie Lewis' s short stories while I anticipated Casey Watson's short stories, to expand my knowledge about different, kind and genuine foster carriers in the U.K. , although I found it difficult to read some of her UK language tango.
For Casey Watson's short stories Just A Boy and At Risk were both stories that I wanted to read but needed to wait until they were formatted in a paperback. I am so glad the she does that so everyone can read her short stories. Both stories brought issues that she never covered before which was more interesting and enticing. Both Cameron's and Adam's situations really pulled on my heart strings, as well as the previous stories by Rosie Lewis's.

Angels in Our Hearts contains 6 true short stories told by 2 different authors of the 6 children they have fostered ranging from infant to teen in the UK. Each child with a different background aiming for that happy ending. Very emotional, heartwarming, and educational I must add. A small look at the foster care system told by the carer themselves. GREAT READ!

Five Shots Stories
There are five short stories in this book. I found them just ok. I had read 3 of the stories before. These I feel are the better ones. If are new to the foster carer books then this book is a good choice to see if you like them.
