The Bad Mother’s Handbook

The Bad Mother’s Handbook follows three generations of women—nan, mum, and teenage daughter—each battling through life, love, mistakes, and expectations. Kate Long presents a funny, emotional, and brutally honest look at motherhood, teenage pregnancy, identity, and the complicated bonds that hold families together. Told with warmth and bite, the story explores how imperfect people still love fiercely, even when they don’t get everything right.
