About me... | ||
| Tracy Engelbrecht is a writer and mother of two. She lives in Cape Town and doesn’t grow freakishly large prizewinning vegetables, but she does do a nice lasagne and her children aren’t in therapy yet, so things are going well. She hardly ever drinks pina coladas or gets caught in the rain, but she’s working on it. That's the official story, anyway. I'm twenty nine, mommy to Conor and Layla; I love to write, read, cook, sleep and eat pudding. Despite the title of my book, I'm a good girl, really... Don't snigger. This means you. | ||
The Girl Who Couldn't Say No | ||
| A sharp, occasionally shocking, memoir that will change how you look at young, single mothers, The Girl Who Couldn’t Say No is also an amusing look at dating as a single twenty-something with a teenager and a toddler. | |
| Told with frank humour and refreshingly mature insight, Tracy Engelbrecht tells the story of how she came to find herself pregnant at 15 … and how she coped with pregnancy, birth and homework. | ||
| And, perhaps surprisingly, it’s not all a complete disaster. From the realities of teenage parenthood, the pitfalls of dating, family, work and a five year celibacy, Tracy has covered a lot of ground - and is proud of it. But mostly she is proud of her two healthy, well-adjusted and happy children. This is an honest, unusual and utterly compelling ‘memoir’ from an exciting new author. | ||
