This book empathizes with Muslim mothers nurturing their families within a faith framework. It canters her experience. Doubts and insecurities are gently replaced with understanding and support in the candid exchanges from one mother to another.Dear Mother… brings together mothers of all ages and backgrounds in a compendium of fictional letters, written from the heart. Great challenges and responsibilities, hopes and disappointments are explored without apology. As one mother prepares for a new-born, another shares her experience of being a single parent. Why is a mother at the primary school gate feeling burnt out by 9 am and what advice does a grandmother pass down to her granddaughter? Whether she’s sitting in the ante-natal clinic, on a bus or in the masjid, these letters reveal a variety of mothers’ inner dialogue – one which is rarely heard in society.

'Who would have thought a book of fictional letters would produce such deep reflections about my 19 years as a mother? I found my safe space as a Muslim mother within the pages of Dear Mother - Letters from the Heart. The chapters took me back to when my children were young, made me feel seen and validated as I navigated being a mother to teenagers, and provided insight into what is to come in the future inshaAllah. This is the book I wish I had from the moment I discovered I had conceived my first child. Suma, my dear, you've done it again.Beautiful and comforting mashaAllah. A must-read for every mother and mother-to-be.'Aliyah Umm RaiyaanFounder and CEO at Solace UK for Muslim Revert Women & Sunday Times Best Selling Author of Ramadan Reflections
