  Please don’t hang up. I don’t know if you remember. You used to live with me. You and your mother.
  
  Ruby lives with her father in an old farmhouse at the end of a dirt road. He teaches her to hunt, to forage for mushrooms, to gut a fish. She learns to tiptoe around his temper – and never to ask about her absent mother.
  
  Ruby has no idea that, hundreds of miles away, a woman she barely remembers is desperate to answer those same questions.
  
  Captivating, tender and deeply moving, Tell Me What I Am is an unforgettable portrait of the indelible bonds of family – and how far we will go for the ones we love.
  
  ''Haunting and deeply moving.'' OBSERVER
  ''Propulsive and richly atmospheric.'' IRISH INDEPENDENT
  ''An engrossing, deftly-told story with an aching secret at its heart, this is a profoundly moving novel of family and women standing strong together.'' LISA BALLANTYNE
  ''Sharp, poignant, thrilling and moving.'' CHRIS WHITAKER
  ''Compelling . . . Mannion writes with a lyrical economy that stands out, and always shows a deep empathy for her well-drawn characters.'' IRISH EXAMINER
  ‘A wrenching portrait of the umbilical bond between mother and child and, more powerfully still, an icily persuasive account of the subtle dark arts of male coercion and abuse.’ DAILY MAIL
