Description
Call Me Mummy by Tina Baker is a psychological thriller with dark humour, exploring motherhood, obsession and the destructive consequences of desperation. Glamorous Mummy seems to have everything a woman could want, except a daughter of her own. When she spots Kim distracted by her phone and seemingly neglecting her young child in a busy shop, Mummy takes the little girl, five-year-old Tonya, believing she can give her the perfect life. But Tonya is far from the obedient daughter she imagined.
As Tonya resists Mummy’s attempts to mould her into the perfect child, Kim becomes the target of a media storm, branded an unfit mother and judged by the public. Haunted by her own childhood and increasingly pushed to the edge, Kim begins to turn against those closest to her. Although Mummy and Kim appear to have little in common, their lives are more closely connected than either could imagine. And caught between them is a little girl whose future hangs in the balance.
