Self Tape by Anna Southgate

Once a successful actress, Jo Taylor now has another job - she鈥檚 a mother. She鈥檚 also a wife, a sister and a daughter. Yet none of these roles is enough to nourish her. After calling up her former agent announcing she鈥檚 ready to make a come-back, Jo records a self tape. With it, her long-lost romance with the camera is rekindled. Soon Jo is recording an array of characters of her own devising and posting them online. At first these personas offer her an escape from the loneliness and monotony of motherhood; then she weaponises them against those who have wronged her. But as Jo loses the battle with alcoholism, they begin to take over, revealing the traumas that have brought her to this place in her life. Only now the world is watching.
