The Sign

A few days ago I was approached by a mum at my son's kindy asking to purchase a copy of my book. Her friend had just delivered twin girls at 32 weeks and she thought my book would be helpful for her. I explained that the book was due for launch in October, however, I had a spare promotional copy that she could have as a gift.

The mother was so thankful and appreciated the gift. The next day I gave her a copy with a note to the new mum.

Today, the mother came up to me at kindy to give me a huge hug and kiss. With tears in her eyes, she explained how she picked up my book last night to flick through before going to bed and completely got caught up in the story. She read the book from cover to cover until 12.30am!! She explained how much she was moved by the book and how she could relate in so many ways. She was gorgeous as she kept kissing and hugging me with sincere motherly love.

It was a defining moment for me. This mother was the first "stranger" to read my book and the result was exactly why I had written the book! It was just another sign that I am on the right path and the book will help the millions of woman that I envisage.

Until next time,
Raquel
