The Monster in Mummy

Success means everything to Donia; to be fair, she’s one of life’s winners. A doting mother to two young girls, happily married and, through graft and guile, she’s the owner of a thriving Agency.
Then she gets the call, the news no one ever wants. She’s terminal.
Donia goes into a tailspin; what about the business she’s worked so hard to build up? What about her husband? How will he cope?
And her children… her young, innocent children.
Monster in Mummy follows Donia’s courageous story as she deals with her world crumbling around her whilst she remains steadfast in being the ‘strong woman.’
As those around her she thought she could rely on start to drift away, she meets Chrissy, a young woman cursed with a similar fate. Their bond and wildly different coping strategies enable Donia to make sense of the car crash her life has spiralled into.
With the bonds of love and friendship urging her along, she confronts her biggest fear… how does she tell her children she’s not going to be there for them? She won’t see them graduate, get married, or have their own children. And then the worst thing possible happens…
But, from despair comes hope, and sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t always on your final journey.
