To appease my growing feeling of guilt for ignoring my book and finding other things far more interesting, I’ve completed this challenge as a blurp for my book. Feelings appeased?  sort of…

Sumanda Maritz has been through one of the most difficult things any parent could, the death of her son.  What is inspiring about her is her ability to still laugh.  This short round woman, who changes her hair as often as her mind, has a zest for life that shines through everything she does.  With her big blue eyes and a constant smile on her face, she’ll keep you spellbound with wildly entertaining stories told with huge hand movements. Throwing herself into new hobbies on an almost daily basis, her latest challenge is to become fit and slim again.  Once described by a friend as the person least likely to have kids, she has turned into a wonderful mother.  Giving up a fast paced career to become a work from home mom, Sumanda still enjoys her photography, web design and writing that gives her a sense of more-than-just-a-mother.  This book tells the story about her experience of becoming a first time mom, having twin boys, dealing with a disabled child, the death of her son and the birth of her daughter.  Told with complete honesty, she shares the feelings and thoughts of a mother having to go through very difficult circumstances.
