The Stand Up Mam is a story with meaning, purpose, and most importantly, a message for mothers/women who find themselves at a crossroads. Those of us who have lost themselves along the bumpy road of life as mum's, daughters, sisters, and wives and even those who maybe have never really known who they are and have never had the time, freedom or support to be able to explore who and what they could be and achieve.
In creating the hugely relatable Georgie and taking her readers along on Georgies complex, but understandable journey. Kay has brilliantly delivered the message that it's ok to take a step back, think, feel, explore, experiment, make mistakes, dream, aim for, and reach our goals whatever they may be. And by doing so, it makes you stronger, happier, more fulfilled, and enriched.
It's a slow burn, but for al the right reasons. Georgie and her family go on a real journey, and thanks to Kays fluid, easy, funny, emotive, and relatable writing style, her readers are quickly immersed and heavily invested in the outcome of their story.
With all manor of financial trauma, drama, likes, dislikes, quirks, frustrations, relationships, and humour running throughout.
The Stand Up Mam is a book that I really enjoyed, took a lot from, and have already recommended to others.
