About this eBook
If you could press a button and one hundred thousand vulnerable citizens died instantly but the rest of the population of the planet was guaranteed prosperity, would you press that button?

To prove to her that there has been no mistake – she is fit and capable of working. Chris knows he is wrong. Knows her life will be over if his verdict stands. Can she persuade him to change his mind? And, if not, how far is she willing to go to save herself?
Rob Drummond's Don't. Make. Tea. confronts the lengths disabled people must go to in order to preserve themselves in an unjust system.
