The Saddest Girl in the World

This biographical work shares the true story of Donna, a ten year old child placed into foster care after suffering neglect and rejection. Placed in the care of foster parent Cathy Glass, Donna is initially withdrawn, silent, and deeply troubled. Through patience, stability, and gentle encouragement, Donna slowly begins to open up about her painful past. The narrative chronicles her emotional healing and the challenges faced by foster families supporting traumatized children.
