What if the advice you never received could still change your life?

Not everyone grows up hearing the quiet wisdom that shapes confidence, resilience, relationships and self-worth. Motherly Advice imagines those conversations through a collection of beautifully crafted fictional stories inspired by real advice shared by mothers, daughters, grandmothers, mentors and women from around the world.

Each chapter begins with a simple piece of motherly wisdom—"Know your worth", "Don't compare yourself to others", "Follow your heart"—and transforms it into a moving story about love, loss, courage, identity, kindness and belonging.

Rather than offering instructions, these stories invite reflection. They explore the advice we carry, the advice we ignore, and the advice we wish someone had given us when we needed it most.

Warm, thoughtful and emotionally resonant, Motherly Advice sits at the intersection of narrative nonfiction and inspirational fiction, offering readers a book to dip into whenever life asks difficult questions.

Perfect for readers of Maya Angelou's Letter to My Daughter, Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love, and anyone who has ever wondered how different life might have been if someone had simply said the right thing at the right moment.
