'Breaking Point is raw, compelling, and ground-breaking; Coffey puts the
life of working mothers under a microscope. To say I loved it is an
understatement, I expect it will be a huge success.' Liz Nugent
'A gripping, compulsive pageturner about what we expect from women,
especially mothers. It's going to be a massive hit.' Marian Keyes
'Both page-turner and gripping courtroom drama, this has much to say
about the expectations and judgement put on women when they become
mothers. Prepare to feel devastated and enraged all at once.' Heat
One mistake could cost her everything.
Susannah has two beautiful daughters, a high-flying medical career, a
successful husband and an enviable life. Her hair is glossy, her clothes
are expensive; she truly has it all.
But when - on the hottest day of the year - her strict morning routine
is disrupted, Susannah finds herself running on autopilot. It is hours
before she realises she has made a devastating mistake. Her baby,
Louise, is still in the backseat of the car and it is too late to save
her.
As the press close in around her, Susannah is put on trial for
negligence. It is plain to see that this is not a trial, it's a witch
hunt. But what will the court say?
