I'm a 35 36 37 38 year old mother of 3 who needs a break - physical, mental, spiritual or financial - I'll take what I can get. My husband says I work too much and I should chill more. Whether he's right or wrong, my life is what it is. I'd love some more "me time" to read, write and shop, but I never have the time to take it. So this blog is my "me time" and it's ALL ABOUT ME.

So Fabulous

I think it's a personal record. I finished Tertia's book, in less than 24 hours. It was so compelling. I had to force myself to go to sleep and not just continue reading through the night.

 

Tertia's a friend of mine, so I knew her story. But the book gives so much more insight into what she went through. At the time that she experienced her losses, I cried for her. I didn't expect to cry again when I read the book. I stopped reading just after 11pm on Tuesday night, just after I'd read about Ben's death. I went to sleep crying. I couldn't wait to pick it up again the next morning to read about how she picked herself up to do that last IVF, the one that resulted in Kate and Adam.

 

I devoured the book. It's a book that South Africa has been waiting for. There's a serious dearth of information about infertility here. Just like her blog, Tertia's book addresses the issue with incredible candidness.

 

I predict it's going to be a great success. Well done, Tertia. I can't wait to read your next book!
