Described as “a real conversation about the early tumultuous days of parenthood,” Georgina Hobson’s Lifted draws on her experience, her conversations with many other mothers and her faith to bring honesty, comfort and hope to new mothers.
“Conscious of the time challenges facing mothers, the book is deliberately short and in a style that can be picked up from any page,” says Georgina, who wrote in response to the noticeable lack of this kind of book at the time of her becoming a mother.
“Lifted will speak to women just beginning their journey, as well as those further down the road and may even help their partners gain insight into their new perspective.”
Georgina made the short list for the Signs Publishing Company Prize at the Manifest Creative Arts Festival this year. She is mother of two boys, Kai, 7, and Toby, 5.
Her blog has chronicled the process of making this project into a book. “The reality of time, persistence and a little silliness keeps a project of this nature rolling along,” she wrote in early November, as she prepared the book for the printers.
