Advance Praise
"Domhnall O'Donoghue, Irish Actor and Author.
Beautifully written, Bradford creates characters and situations that are real, nuanced and interesting. While the focus is on Lacey, her pregnancy, and her struggles to convince her birth mother to view her as a daughter rather than an employee, Don't Call Me Mum features a myriad of personalities, all of whom must go on their own personal journeys - notably her sister, Sally ('sister' being the operative word!). The conclusion is devastating and will linger in the reader's mind long after the book is finished.
Bradford's writing is intelligent, delicate and commercial. I look forward to following her career
Sue Wallace: Wow. what a read absolutely fantastic read. I loved the story. even had me in tears. I really didn't like Cora at some parts of this book. such a powerful read. well deserved 5*. would give more if I could. Highly recommended.
InD'tale Magazine: Ms. Bradford has created a complex family saga, with Lacey Taylor at the heart of it all. Five gold stars for deep characters with authentic voices, excellent conflict, and unique premise

Lacey loses her mom only to find out she was not her child but ‘her fathers sin’. In her search for her birth mother she finds a very successful designer. As she tries to develop a relationship with her, Lacey is saddened that she keeps her at arms length except for business.
Lacey struggles to understand how her birth mother could give her up and not wonder about her.
When Lacey finds herself pregnant her birth mother encourages her to have an abortion, the father doesn’t want anything to do with the baby either.
Will Lacey keep the baby? Will she be pressured to having an abortion?
Thank you to Netgalley for complimentary copy. The thoughts and opinions are my own.

An entertaining and well written book. Good plot with believable characters. I highly recommend it. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

I loved everything about this book. Grab your box of tissues for this well written story. Love, angst, family, death all take center stage in this story. You'll discover how much family means to some and how little to others. At the end, I was bawling my eyes out.
