Not yet published
Expected 31 Jan 26 A Young Mother’s Story
At just seventeen, Rae finds herself standing on the edge of adulthood juggling college, love, and the reality of raising a child far too soon. When her son Albie is born, Rae is determined to break the cycle of neglect that scarred her own childhood. With the steady support of foster carers Sarah and Andy, she begins to believe she can build a better life.
But young motherhood is far from simple. Sleepless nights, mounting bills, and the loneliness of independence weigh heavily on her. Her boyfriend Jay drifts further away, while her best friend Cara battles demons of her own. And when trust shatters in the most brutal way, Rae is left questioning whether love is ever enough to hold her together.
Raw, heartbreaking, and deeply human, A Young Mother’s Story is the second book in the Rae series. It is a story of betrayal and survival, of finding strength in the darkest places, and of a young mother learning that sometimes love alone isn’t enough, but it might still be the reason to keep going.

About the author
Serena Baker
3 books2 followersSerena Baker makes her debut with RAE, a raw and tender coming-of-age story told across three stages of one woman’s life. Beginning in childhood, the series traces Rae’s journey from a bright but vulnerable girl to a young mother and, ultimately, a woman fighting to shape her future.
Serena Bakers work explores resilience, survival, and the complicated ways love and loss shape us. She began writing Rae’s story as a way of giving voice to experiences that are often hidden, and it quickly grew into something larger, a journey through memory, hope, and what it means to find light in difficult places.
When she isn’t writing, Serena spends time with her family, drawing inspiration from the small, everyday moments that carry the weight of a story. She believes deeply in the power of storytelling to connect people, to open conversations, and to remind us that even the hardest truths can be told with courage.
