Hey, so this book I wrote is going to published in Germany (in German) this summer and I'd love to tell you all about it because I am very proud of it. It's called Freundschaft kommt auf leichten Füßen (Friendship Comes on Light Feet) and here's the cover! Shall we do a little

It's about Finding Your Feet, because being a Work-In-Progress isn't something to be ashamed of. It's about breaking out of the moulds that you are assigned by your peers; you can be Sporty even if you are Scary. You can be Posh even if you feel like a Baby.
I wrote it because I wish someone had told me when I was in school that you can Learn To Run. That the things that don't come naturally to you are still yours for the taking. Practice doesn't have to make perfect and participation is not by invitation only.
The girls in my novel are striking out in secret - they're stepping out of their comfort zones to defy Their Own Expectations, and although they start their journeys separately, they discover true friendship on the wobbly path to their true selves.
I'll keep this thread open so I can tell you some more about my beloved girls and share some extracts (in English). I'm so happy this book is going to meet its audience with Carlsen, translated by Fabienne Pfeiffer. https://www.carlsen.de/softcover/freundschaft-kommt-auf-leichten-fussen/978-3-551-58431-1
