Finding Out if my Mum Tried to Kill Me
Annie Price was badly burnt as a baby in a caravan fire. Years later she heard disturbing rumours about how it had started.
Imagine growing up thinking that your mother had tried to kill you, what would that do to your outlook on life? Annie Price lived with that thought. She suffered thirty percent burns in a fire on the outskirts of London when she was just a few weeks old. Annie was taken away from her birth family and put up for adoption. She was very happy with her adoptive family, and it was only as she grew older, that she started hearing rumours that her mother might have been responsible for her injuries.
