I'm hosting an excerpt today from a contemporary novel by author Charlotte Pearson named "Mummy Fever". Have fun reading!
Book Excerpt
A mirror image
After meeting my friend I decided I would
not waste the two hours it took me to get out of the house, combined with the
thirty-five minute drive and expensive car park, and I would take the
opportunity to grab a few things I needed from the shops at the same time.
In my head I knew this was another mistake,
just like the coffee shop. Someone was bound to need a nappy change, or the
toilet, or a feed, or SOMETHING, but I was not going to be defeated!
While in one of the big department stores,
I spotted a wild-eyed woman with uncombed hair, something down her top and a
mismatched outfit, looking slightly deranged as she walked towards me with her
pram.
Then I realized I was about to walk into a
full-length mirror.
Mummy Fever
Title: Mummy Fever (Mission Accomplished)
Author: Charlotte Pearson
Genre: Contemporary
It was the best of times … It was the worst
of times ... 'Mummy Fever: Mission Accomplished' is a determinedly honest
blow-by-blow account of young motherhood that will remind you why you vowed
never to have a second child, and why you probably broke that vow two years
later. Discover how to open a door gracefully to a perfect stranger half-naked
and covered head-to-toe in ... well, never mind, how to grow eight arms, how to
fend off the hapless and intrusive advice of your rampaging mother-in-law, how
to run a marathon only a few months after you have given birth, and how to deal
with an inattentive husband who isn't planning on changing his life at all.
But, above all, remind yourself that young motherhood is a time of enchantment,
despite the very real challenges, and a love story, at least towards the
children ..
