A mix of fiction and non-fiction to

From Sarah Turner, the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Unmumsy Mum comes Stepping Up:
Beth has never stuck at anything. She's quit more jobs and
relationships than she can remember, and she still sleeps in her childhood
bedroom. Then, in the space of a morning, her world changes.
An unspeakable tragedy turns Beth's life upside down, and she
finds herself guardian to her teenage niece and toddler nephew, catapulted into
an unfamiliar world of bedtime stories, parents' evenings and cuddly elephants.
Having never been responsible for anyone - or anything - it's not long before
she feels seriously out of her depth.
In comedian Sophie McCartney’s Tired and Tested, she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group.
With laugh-out-loud humour and
eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining
or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild
ride into parenthood.
Chaired by Martin Greig.
