The Calendar Mums - A wonderfully laugh-out-loud novel of motherhood and friendship

Meet single mum Samantha , entrepreneur Rhea , and first-time mother Tahlie , all from different walks of life, brought together by their weekly mum and baby group in the town of Hickory Creek. Here they all find support - and a moment''s peace - in the haze of raising their new-borns. But when the group is cancelled due to a lack of funds, it looks like the invaluable support they received will be no more. Until they decide to band together to save the community centre, their group and a whole host of other services that keep Hickory Creek running. Their plan? Create a fundraiser calendar featuring themselves... in the nude. Baring all for charity requires bravery at the best of times, but as all of them have given birth in the last few months it feels unthinkable. Which is exactly why they decide to do it. They will challenge not only what is celebrated about women''s bodies but what each of them think they are capable of. Circle the date on your calendars because for these women, and their town, nothing will ever be the same again... A laugh-out-loud, hilarious, heartfelt and unflinchingly honest exploration of new motherhood, friendship and the hidden strength within us all. This contemporary take on the classic Calendar Girls is perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks , Alexandra Potter and Fiona Gibson.
