Book Description
The touching, honest and laugh-out-loud account of what it's like to become a first-time mum after 40 Whatever your age, becoming a mum for the first time brings excitement, anxiety and numerous challenges. But how do you cope when, to top it all off, you discover you are almost old enough to be the mother of everyone else in your birth prep group? As one in five babies is born to a mum over 35, and the number of women over 40 giving birth has doubled, The Secret Diary of a New Mum (Aged 43 1/4) is Cari Rosen's timely and hilarious account of becoming a first-time mother in her 40s. Whether it's deftly side-stepping questions about your age and baby number two, weeping as younger counterparts ping back into their size ten jeans within thirty seconds of giving birth, or your doctor suddenly referring to you as geriatric, Cari approaches the shared experiences of an ever-increasing number of mothers with insight, humour and honesty. ***Praise for The Secret Diary of a New Mum*** 'Hilariously candid.' Daily Mail 'Brilliantly observed... funny, embarrassing and yet cruelly honest. It feels good to laugh about it, now the stitches are out.' Fay Ripley 'Warm, witty and very, very wise the perfect antidote to all those po-faced pregnancy books. As a fellow ''Geriatric Mother'' I found myself constantly laughing and nodding along in agreement.' Imogen Edwards-Jones

Book Description
Meet Lou! She's hardly your average 12 year old. Her handmade outfits are the talk of the school (even though they make the other girls laugh), and her homework gets a lot of attention from her teachers (even though it lands her in the shrink's office). Home sweet home is an apartment she shares with her couch-potato mom and a cat named Cat. At least she can pour her heart out to her best friend, Mina, and scribble her dreams in her secret diary. Now that she's almost a teenager, Lou's life is becoming even more interesting. Playing with dolls has lost its appeal and the boy across the street gets cuter every day. The new neighbor, Richard, just might be the perfect match for Lou's mom. But will Lou or her mom ever pluck up their courage and actually talk to their crushes?

The memoir shares testimonies from Vanessa's past and goals for her future. It speaks about how she rose above her heritage and purchased her home at 21 years old. DOASM also reveals candid details about Vanessa's life and the struggles she endured growing up in the projects of South Philadelphia. Furthermore, Vanessa was stricken with Multiple Sclerosis a year after she purchased her first home, yet she found a way to overcome her illness, and live her life medication free. You will also read stories about pain and suffering, as well as the lack of support she had with her children. Vanessa tells all about the struggles she encountered with the judicial system, and her arrest after two parole officers stalked and harassed her for months. In addition, Vanessa discloses the tale of her divorce, and how her now ex-husband pleaded with her to abort her last child and his appalling reaction when she refused. Despite this hardship, Vanessa looked for a positive distraction; thus, she enrolled in college and attained several degrees. After successfully overcoming trials and tribulations, Vanessa decided to write a memoir to leave for her descendants for generations to come. However, God had a different plan for Vanessa. Consequently, she was inspired to share her testimonies with the world; hence, she published her manuscript. Diary of a Single Mother offers hope and inspiration. The book is designed to expand the mind of the readers; thus, prompting the audience to consider just how prosperous one's life could be if they change their thought process, which could ultimately change their life.
