On 01:01:12 Anna woke up to the New Year. She was 51, everything had changed including the dog.
Tracey Tester summed 'The Binary Year' up saying - "I downloaded this book when I saw a link saying it was currently free on Amazon - although I certainly would not mind paying for it.
I loved the way the book was written in diary format, with some entries being relatively short and others longer. I could not put down my Kindle while reading this book - it was most inconvenient that I have to work and could only read it for half an hour on my lunch break each day !
It certainly gives a great insight into the fostering process - I did not realise the full extent of the 'upheaval' for want of a better word, that prospective foster parents have to go through before they are even accepted (poor Leo !)
That said, it definitely isn't a tale of woe - the humour in the book (provided mostly by the wonderful Lily) is great and I found myself laughing out loud at some parts. I would even bookmark certain pages so that I would read them to my partner when I got home from work.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and I will definitely be reading it again."
