Description
“Just this once,” Lucy thought.
One Saturday afternoon, after nearly five years of keeping every school rule, Lucy gave in to peer pressure — and everything changed.
Set in the boarding house of a reputable African secondary school, Tell My Mum I Love Her is a true-life story that explores the painful cost of disobedience, the power of peer influence, and the haunting aftermath of a near-kidnapping. As Lucy breaks the rules for the first time, she witnesses a terrifying event that leaves a lasting mark — and a message she can never forget.
This gripping account, written with honesty and depth, offers teenagers, parents, and teachers a rare opportunity to reflect on the boundaries that protect us and the voices we choose to follow.
