'I'm six years old and having a life crisis.' Are you my mummy?' is
the question I could never ask because I love both my mothers
equally: Tyna, the tiny one and Bigga, who is bigger. I haven't got
a daddy either, and it seems rude to ask'. This is a sharp and
entertaining true story, beginning in war-torn London, of how the
author navigated her way through family passions and oddities,
secrets and multiple identities. On the way she encounters a
Christmas pudding sent annually care of the Bank of Scotland;
sitting on a Tutor's cat during a Cambridge University interview;
running the family corner shop as a school girl; discovering a
cache of beautiful postcards from all over Europe; and the seaside
wedding of one of her mothers. 'One of my mothers is has yet
another stroke. I'm by her side when the consultant points to a
scar on her belly and asks her what it is. Silently she raises her
hand and gestures towards me. A Caesarean section all those years
ago. I am her daughter. We never speak of it'. 'After Bigga and
Tyna died, I begin a paper trail to find news of my father. One
morning I walk across Westminster Bridge to meet a half-sister. I
have been an only child for 50 years. Over lunch I discover that I
am the sixth of seven siblings born to four women - and I have a
famous Swiss grandfather'. The book ends by tackling some questions
I'm often asked, such as: Were your mothers lesbians? Does a child
need a father? Is the past good for you? Do therapists help?'

This is the first study to compare advocacy, counselling and
mediation as social processes of empowerment. It focuses on the
user/worker partnership in care-giving services, and on the
increasing imperative for cooperation between disciplines. The
contributors, who are all practitioners and leading authorities in
their fields, examine the cultural and organizational contexts in
which each of these media has developed as well as their potential
usefulness in casework. The chapters cover a number of areas of
casework that cause particular concern including cultural and
community conflict, work and post-traumatic stress management and
health decision making, describing each in a multidisciplinary
setting with case illustrations. Taking a socially inclusive
approach, this book bases itself on principles which will promote
positive action for social justice, as well as non-discriminatory,
non-oppressive and non-stereotypical equal opportunities policies
and practices.
