I’d like to suggest that for “W” you read my debut memoir “We Don’t Talk About It. Ever.” which is in stores this coming week and online (Exclusive’s and Loot). Your support of my proudly South African work would be hugely appreciated. I hope this group is the appropriate place to tell all you ferocious readers about my book. Thank you. Desiree-Anne Martin
