A GOOD ENOUGH MOTHER
My latest book, with my new publisher, the award-winning Boldwood Books, was published on
13 March 2024. It's an emotionally-charged family-based story about the difficulties that can come with parenthood.
Helen, my neighbour, has been so good to me. And more importantly, she’s so good with the children. So surely, when Mia tells me stories about the things she's doing to upset her, they're just that: stories, like all the other stories she loves to tell about witches and princesses? Because if not, maybe my dad was right all along: I was never good enough to be a mother, and I’ve let my precious children down in the worst way possible.
