Samenvatting:

Raw, hard-hitting, but, ultimately, a true memoir of survival.

Raised fatherless on a '90s poverty-stricken council estate, Belle details the struggles faced as she shared the role of young carer for her mum with her older brother, and the difficult transitional period as their relationship changed from brother and sister to child and caregiver, following court-approved legal guardianship.

Mother's Ruin is an honest account of the devastating long-term impact of a mother's addiction, dangerous actions and untimely death, just before her daughter's eleventh birthday.
