In this inspiring, topical and painfully funny memoir, Not a Fictional Mum asks what it is that really makes a mum?
What Makes a Mum? is a less conventional journey of being mothered and reaching motherhood, from teenage foster care, struggling with infertility and navigating the adoption process. Not a Fictional Mum reveals the policies and statistics that led her to campaign for change, and what emerges is a picture of resilience, determination and hope.
A personal account and a manifesto for change, What Makes a Mum? looks at family beyond genetics and offers a guiding hand to anyone in the long and sometimes agonising pursuit of becoming a mother.
‘Funny, clever . . . but above all else real and beautifully written’ Lisa Faulkner
‘Opened my eyes to a whole other part of being a mother’ Rochelle Humes
‘Delivered with such warmth, passion and compassion’ Anna Mathur
Not a Fictional Mum is a wife, mother and care-experienced campaigner advocating for a community she feels the government are failing. She has campaigned alongside leading UK charities in Westminster regarding the current self-employed adopter’s legislation and headed a petition exceeding 16,000 signatures, securing a parliamentary debate. She professes to be an ‘accidental’ writer who, despite having written over 62,000 words about her life, still finds writing an ‘author bio’ somewhat bizarre. She tips her pen to every child of the care system past, present and future, and offers words of hope and courage to those trying to reach parenthood. She is represented by the Hardman & Swainson literary agency and What Makes a Mum? is her first book.
