In this episode, Andy Muir talks with Rae Cairns about her debut crime thriller ‘The Good Mother’, a story of a mother forced to confront her past when her son travels to Ireland. How hard will a mother fight to protect her family? But that’s not the only story that is explored. This novel has had one of the more unusual pathways to publication we can think of and after talking with Rae, the podcast team assembles to discuss both the novel and Rae’s inspiring story about prizes, perseverance, self belief and not giving up.
