1.6 Kilograms of Grace: A Memoir of Poverty, Betrayal, Motherhood, and Rebuilding a Life from Nothing, (Paperback)

<p><b>She was twenty-two years old, pregnant, and alone in a hospital in Gauteng. Her blood pressure was over 200. Her baby was fighting to survive in an incubator. And the man who helped make that baby sent her one message the entire time she was in high care.</b></p><p><i><b>"Thanks for the update."</b></i></p><p><b>That is the kind of story this is.</b></p><p><i>1.6 Kilograms of Grace</i> is the true memoir of Shama - a girl who grew up in a one-room house in Limpopo, wore donated clothes to school, watched her father dig roads in their neighbourhood, and decided none of it was where her story would end.</p><p>She put herself through university with R1,500 to her name. She acted on a production that made strangers stop her on the street years later. She fell in love with a man who taught her everything about her career and broke her heart in the same breath. She wrote her final exams from a hospital bed. She attended job interviews with a premature baby on her chest. She begged for love she deserved for free.</p><p>And then she stopped begging. She got the job. She passed with distinctions. She started the business. She graduated. She kept going.</p><p><b>This is not a story about a woman who had it all figured out. This is a story about a woman who had nothing figured out and kept going anyway.</b></p><p>If you have ever loved the wrong person for too long, built something from nothing, prayed in a room with no one listening, or been told you were too much - this book was written for you.</p> <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p>
