Having a child changes everything, not matter who or what
you were beforehand. Although Collien Ulmen-Fernandes
suspects that this will be true, what actually happens after she
gives birth surpasses all her expectations. Motherhood is not
possible to rehearse!
Once hailed as the "figurehead of the young generation"
(FAZ), the former teen idol left her previous role behind and
entered adulthood in her early thirties: as a career woman,
wife, and mother. In her inimitable moderator's voice, she
comments on her first steps into parenthood and expresses
once again precisely what her contemporaries are
experiencing as well.
The weird odyssey through countless fears, doubts, and first
times – the first smile, the first steps, the first moment in
which a child embarrasses its parents – will be especially
appealing to those whose experiences as new parents do not
quite mirror the descriptions in baby guidebooks.
A wonderfully honest must-read for all first-time parents.
