So when her daughter Autumn becomes the target of schoolyard bullying, she feels like a helpless mother and doesn’t like it.

Debuting her first thriller, Sanjida Kay’s gripping novel of psychological suspense is about a recently divorced mother and her nine-year old daughter.

Bullied as a child she admitted to reviewing book sites contemplating what would happen if a mother fought back against her child’s bullies.
