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."
 

   
  Published by Oshun Books in 2007, my first book is an autobiography, the story of my life til then, the spilt beans, the dirt dished and so on. It has a habit of knotting up the knickers of a certain type of person, which can be quite fun to watch.


But it's more than all that. It's finding the voice to speak about who I am, to challenge the assumptions about who I must be. And sometimes it's a chance to be heard by someone who needs it most. The right word at the right moment can make a difference. That's something I know for sure, and it's a big deal.
