WHAT
THEY MADE
ME DO
I'll never forget the faces of my school bullies.
But after thirty years, they've forgotten mine.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
There’s something about my thirteen-year-old pupil that frightens me.
Perhaps it’s the cruel smirk she exhibits when I confront her about bullying my daughter. Or maybe it’s because she reminds me of someone I’ve spent more than thirty years trying to forget.
As the weeks in my new teaching post wear on, and her behaviour escalates, I have no choice but to call her parents in. But the moment her mother steps into the head teacher’s office, the past comes crashing back.
Cruelty, it turns out, is inherited.
Lorraine was one half of the brother-and-sister duo who terrorised me throughout two endless summers. What they did left scars so raw, I needed years of therapy to learn how to live with them.
But Lorraine doesn’t recognise me. She has no idea who I am, and now her daughter is in my classroom. Once, Lorraine held all the power.
This time, it’s mine, along with all the risk.
A twisty psychological thriller where a dangerous woman is confronted by the unresolved wounds she once inflicted. Only now, a power reversal may or may not lead to revenge.
