The social services are looking for a very experienced foster carer to look after Aimee & when she reads the referral Cathy understands why. Despite her reservations Cathy agrees to Aimee on
- there is something about her that reminds Cathy of Jodie (the subject of ' Damaged' & the most disturbed child Cathy has cared for) & reading the report instantly tugs at her heart strings. When she arrives Aimee is angry. & she has every right to be. She has spent the first eight years of her life living with her drug-dependent mother in a flat that the social worker described as 'not fit for human habitation'. Aimee is so grateful as she snuggles into her bed at Cathy's house on the first night that it brings Cathy to tears. Aimee's aggressive mother is constantly causing trouble at contact & makes sweeping allegations against Cathy & her family in front of her daughter as well. It is a trying time for Cathy & it makes it difficult for Aimee to settle. But as Aimee begins to trust Cathy she starts to open up. & the more Cathy learns about Aimee's life before she came into care the more horrified she becomes. It's clear that Aimee should have been rescued much sooner & as her journey seems to be coming to a happy end Cathy can't help but reflect on all the other 'forgotten children' that are still suffering...

Adams began to photograph in colour in the mid-1930s. He did significant personal or creative photography in colour & his distinctive visualisation of a scene & technical mastery is immediately evident in these photographs. Overall he made nearly 3 500 colour images but only a small fraction have ever been published. Adams thought seriously about publishing his colour images but the task was not accomplished during his lifetime. The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust
- with advice & counsel from John Szarkowski former Director of Photography at New Yorks Museum of Modern Art; David Travis Curator of Photographs at the Art Institute of Chicago & James Enyeart former Director of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House--asked the distinguished master photographer Harry Callahan to select the best of Adams colour work for publication in this book.
