Playwright Anna Jefferson's blog about the early years of motherhood has led to her debut novel, You Can Take Her Home Now.
The summary says: "That moment when you realise ... you have absolutely no clue.
Emily Jones is a new mum: she's bought the swank buggy, planned her labour soundtrack, read the books. Then her little girl actually arrives and Emily realises: she has all the gear, no idea - and only 12 months of maternity leave to figure it out.
Lonely but not alone, it's the women Emily makes friends with in this first year who really see her through to the other side." You Can Take Her Home Now is out in March 2019.
