Six-year-old Jamie has drawn four people in his family. There should be three.
When he points to the dark-haired woman and calls her Mum, Mara Fraser discovers the impossible: her sister Isla, declared dead seven years ago after a fiery crash, has come home.
The return of Isla should answer the questions that have haunted them both. Instead, every answer exposes another lie about the crash, Jamie's childhood and Callum, the husband who has spent years deciding which version of Mara the world should believe.
As the memories of Mara begin to return, one truth becomes impossible to ignore. Someone built their family on a dead woman's identity, and he will do anything to stop it collapsing.
The Woman He Calls Mum is a tense Scottish psychological thriller about memory, motherhood and the danger of trusting the person who knows how to make you doubt yourself.
