"What is even more incredible is that Sarah Turner has now had 3 number 1 Sunday Times bestsellers!"

S09 E02

Sarah Turner, AKA The Unmumsy Mum, used her experiences and struggles as a mother to write a blog. That blog was a success. So many related to Sarahs reality, and many more were inspired by it. Soon after, Sarah started writing a book about motherhood. In 2018, she released The Unmumsy Mum, quoted as "the messy, maddening, hilarious reality; how there is no 'one size fits all' approach; and how it is sometimes absolutely fine to not know what you are doing." This book became an instant No.1 Sunday Times bestseller! An achievement many authors can only dream of. What is even more incredible is that Sarah Turner has now had 3 number 1 Sunday Times bestsellers!

Stepping Up is Sarah's latest release. It dropped in March of this year and as you can see below has received incredible praise, hitting the number 1 spot once again!
**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**

'Written with such love and heart. Sarah has done an exceptional job of marrying her trademark comedy with deep and raw emotion. I loved it!' GIOVANNA FLETCHER

'A glorious novel about family, grief, changing expectations and, ultimately, love.' The Sun

Beth has never stuck at anything.

She's quit more jobs and relationships than she can remember and she still sleeps in her childhood bedroom. It's not that she hasn't tried to grow up, it's just that so far, the only commitment she's held down is Friday drinks at the village pub.

Then, in the space of a morning, her world changes.

An unspeakable tragedy turns Beth's life upside down, and she finds herself guardian to her teenage niece and toddler nephew, catapulted into an unfamiliar world of bedtime stories, parents' evenings and cuddly elephants. Having never been responsible for anyone - or anything - it's not long before she feels seriously out of her depth.

What if she's simply not up to the job?

With a little help from her best friend Jory (purely platonic, of course ...) and her lovely, lonely next-door neighbour, Albert, Beth is determined that this time she's not giving up. It's time to step up.

This is a story about digging deep for strength you never knew you had and finding magic in things that were there all along.
