The Girl Who Called Me Mother
Sixteen years ago, Helen Tait was told her newborn daughter had died.
Now a missing girl is standing on her doorstep.
It is November 1991 in Surrey, British Columbia, and Helen has spent years building a quiet life around a grief she never learned to question. Then sixteen-year-old Shannon Wylie disappears from the school where Helen works and leaves behind a message meant only for her:
You already buried me once.
Soon, Helen receives a cassette recorded by her late husband, a photograph of herself holding a living newborn, and a hospital bracelet that should not exist. Every clue points toward the same impossible truth. Shannon may be the daughter Helen was told she lost.
But Shannon is not simply looking for a mother.
She is looking for a confession.
As Helen is drawn into a buried maternity-home scandal, a suspicious death, and a battle with the woman who raised Shannon, she discovers that everyone connected to the past has lied. Including her husband. Including her sister.
Including Helen herself.
Dark, atmospheric, and psychologically gripping, The Girl Who Called Me Mother is a haunting thriller about stolen identity, dangerous motherhood, and the secrets families will kill to protect.
