Alice is determined to uncover the truth about her family's past. Her search leads her to the Khan household, where she believes Saafia holds the key to a long-buried secret. But Saafia doesn't know Alice - and isn't eager to.
Kali Khan is spiralling. With a tragic accident, legal woes, and a strained family, she's desperate for an escape. Her son, Jordan, is caught in the chaos. How far will a mother go to protect her son?
Meanwhile, Nick, a psychologist with his own complicated past, finds himself drawn into Kali's turbulent world and pushed to the edge of his professional ethics. As Alice gets closer to the truth, hidden wounds resurface, forcing the Khans to confront what they've spent years trying to forget.
In the Name of the Mother is a gripping story of identity, family, and the haunting power of the past - because some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Jane Hudson was born in England but has spent most of her life in and around South Africa. Home is now a small marina on Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard. She lives there with the boy she met as a teenager when sailing was their shared passion. Together, they've raised two children - both now fully fledged adults. A practising psychologist for the past twenty-five years, Jane discovered her love of writing relatively late in life. With earlier careers in teaching and in business, along with decades of fascinating life experiences, she is well-primed to launch her debut novel.
