Other Women (1985) by American writer Lisa Alther has a Care Experienced character as one of the principal characters.

The narrative of Other Women revolves around an ongoing conversation between single mother Caroline Kelly and her therapist, Hannah Burke.

Hannah Burke was born in Australia. After her mother died of typhoid, her father took the 4-year-old to live with his parents in England before leaving to work in Trinidad.

She remembers her father as a handsome man who turned up to visit her in Hampstead, England every couple of years.

Hannah experiences other losses, including that of her 1st husband in WWII and of 2 children in a house fire later while living in the USA.

Through the conversations with Hannah, Caroline understands how her different background shaped her. And through hearing about the tragedies Hannah has survived, she feels more confident in moving forward with her own life.
