What readers say

A love letter to girlhood. Raw, honest, vulnerable. The kind of book every female, irrespective of colour, age and social standing, needs to read at least once in their lifetime. The author's heart is on full display, in every word, on every page. From start to finish.

If you are a woman who journals Not all wombs blossom the same is definitely for you. It is not just another poetry collection to keep in your bookshelf, it a personal journal that all women need to have. Not only did I get a chance to understand what other women go through, I was able to name my own struggles. Having read the book and jotting down my own experiences in the journal section provided in the book, this book has easily been one that I recommend to women in my life. As a woman, I've grown to learn that life happens and there's a lot that my sisters are go through without telling anyone, so when I don't have the words to comfort you I know the pages in NAWBTS will give you the comfort that you need.

Lerato writes an honest account of the struggles with endometriosis In such a way that validates, affirms and heals. By tackling the topic, she successfully makes the invisible seen and the traumatised whole.

It is a great read. In snippets with a journal/diary format to have the reader reflect and jot down any notes. It gives a window to the other end of the spectrum of womanhood. Without alienating the reader, it allows for a space to relate with any challenges and losses that come with being here on earth, especially fertility. It's not a cure, or a prescription, rather a walk through one's mind and heart with feelings we all share as a human race and brings to life experiences we often cannot put into words. Great read !!

I read just a couple of poems from the book and wow. A masterpiece of courage and truth. This book is more than a read, it is an experience. A powerful reminder that even in pain, there is strength.

Just read a couple of poems , I am so touched , this is not only about the author's experience but also an educational experience for readers living with the same challenges or knowing someone going through the same challenges. I recommend this book to all women with struggles or not.

Such a great personal investment. A reminder that you're not alone

It's an inspiring Book that embraces and celebrates the uniqueness of every woman's journey and the experiences we endure in silence. One message that stayed with me throughout the book is that "This life I am living is not what I've planned, but it is still mine and I choose to embrace it." An inspiring and necessary read for anyone seeking strength in the face of life's uncertainties.

I bought Not All Wombs Blossom the Same shortly after it was released, and I can honestly say that this book taught me things I never knew I needed to learn. The book speaks to challenges we encounter in our everyday lives, but I want to make particular reference to page 37, just to mention a few. The author talks about watching friends live the life you once dreamed of — seeing friends and age-mates getting promoted at work, advancing in different areas of their lives, and receiving invitations to baby showers, while all you can do is hope, smile, and clap the loudest for them. This part of the book touched me deeply because I relate to it so much. It taught me the importance of being kind and compassionate towards people, because we often have no idea what someone is silently going through behind their smile. I became emotional reading this section because I have personally experienced many of the things mentioned in this book. I would genuinely encourage anyone to buy and read this book. I promise you, there is at least one page that will resonate deeply with whatever you may currently be going through. And should the author decide to release Not All Wombs Blossom the Same, Vol. 2, or any other book I will definitely be buying it!
