Clare Willoughby is a far cry from SuperMum.
Her kids’ lunchboxes contain convenience food, her bills almost never get paid on time and the concept of regular housework is one from times BC (Before Children).
Clare’s efforts to do the best by her family while keeping her job and some vague semblance of a social life have conspired to bring her down. Add a self-imposed magic ban since having children and she has become an anxious mess mum.
The only real surprise is that it took over seven years to get there.
‘Magic Mama – Headaches and Heartburn’ is a modern fairytale with a mother, instead of a princess, needing to be saved from a black dog rather than a fire-breathing dragon.
In a way, she thinks she’d prefer the dragon.
Trigger warning - While there is no violence in this book, the main character, Clare, suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, which are described in detail from a first person POV.
Author Note - This book deals with the big issue of anxiety in our society, with a focus on what Mums are currently facing; working, running the house and keeping everyone alive and fed. I view this as a melting pot for mental health issues and wanted to bring a story to life representing that we're all in the same boat, sinking at varying rates, but there are ways that you can keep yourself afloat. I hope the book lives up to the vision I had for it, and does the issue justice. K E Fraser
