Summary:
British foster parent Cathy Glass tells the shocking story of Zeena, a clearly petrified 14 -year-old Bangladeshi girl who comes to live with her in foster care. Zeena gradually settles into her foster home, but misses her little brothers and sisters terribly. Prevented from having any contact with them by her birth family who insist she has brought shame and dishonour on the whole Bangladeshi community, Zeena tries to see them at school. But when her father and uncle find out, they bundle her into a car and threaten to set fire to her if she makes anymore trouble. Zeena is too frightened to press charges
against
them despite being offered police protection in a safe house. Eventually, Cathy discovers the devastating truth from Zeena, and realizes there is little she can do to protect her.
