My Mother Left Me for a Tree is a short story exploring how feelings around abandonment may not concern themselves with how loss occurs - whether someone dies, leaves or isn't emotionally present. And how/if these feelings manifest may not be as expected.

The Word for Freedom is available  to buy in kindle and paperback. Proceeds go to Hestia who  support over 9,000 adults & children in crisis across London every year with their experiences of domestic abuse, modern slavery & mental health needs.
