Mum and Me

This series of three short stories illustrates the life experiences and perspectives of a five-year-old girl through to the time she is fifteen. It challenges the relationships and bonds that she has with her immediate family when she learns not only how to adapt to living in a big city but also how to survive abuse. She does this while living with an Asian family in East London.

The purpose of Mum and Me is to encourage all parents to ask for help when they find themselves in difficult situations where they or their children are in danger. Mum and Me is a way of reaching out to traumatized young adults and showing them how to cope with living with the physical and psychological scares that occur throughout their lives. It shows people that abuse in the family affects all the family members in different ways.
