Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How far can a mother's love reach when love alone is no longer enough?Nineteen-year-old Sarah Hoff loves her baby daughter, Mia, more than anything in the world. But Sarah's life is already unravelling. Trapped in poverty, surrounded by addiction, an unstable relationship and the lasting effects of her own difficult upbringing, she struggles to provide the safe and secure home she desperately wants for her child.When concerns for Mia bring Children's Services into their lives, Sarah sees judgement and interference where social worker Katy sees an increasingly vulnerable baby in need of protection. Yet Katy's own life is far from perfect. Behind her professional exterior is a single mother carrying childhood trauma of her own, balancing the emotional demands of social work with the guilt, exhaustion and sacrifices of raising her daughter.As Sarah's circumstances spiral and Mia's safety becomes increasingly uncertain, both women are forced to confront painful questions about motherhood, responsibility, childhood trauma and the difference between loving a child and being able to keep that child safe. When events take a devastating turn, decisions must be made that will change all of their lives forever.For The Love Of Mia is a raw, compassionate and emotionally charged work of contemporary fiction that explores the realities behind child protection and the people on every side of the system. Moving between the perspectives of a struggling young mother and the professionals trying to protect her child, it looks beyond easy judgement to ask what happens when generations of poverty, neglect, addiction and trauma collide.At its heart, this is a story about love, loss, family and the chances we are given in life, and whether the right support can change where our story ultimately leads.
