'I pulled myself together and stepped into the hallway, standing for a moment, unsure of where to go. Should I rush into the kitchen, where my mother would be drinking from a bottle? Or should I run upstairs, trying to find somewhere to hide? It was a choice I didn't have to make, because there was no escape.'

Anna Lowe grows up on the thresholds of pubs, waiting for her mother to come out. She is forced to give up her room to her mother's drunken friends. And she regularly calls for an ambulance after finding her mother unconscious and covered in vomit. But when they move in with her mother's boyfriend, Carl, things take a turn for the worst. Not only is he violent towards her mother, but he sexually abuses Anna from the age of six - destroying any semblance of a normal childhood she had left. Good Morning, Mum is the poignant true story of a young girl who ultimately found the courage to break free from the past.
