โฆ Synopsis
A sharp, occasionally shocking, memoir that will change how you look at teenage mothers, The Girl Who Couldnโt Say No is told with frank South African humour and refreshingly mature insight. Tracy Engelbrecht tells the story of how she came to find herself pregnant at 15, and how she coped with pregnancy, birth and homework.
An eye-opener for teens and their parents alike, as well as a message of hope, empathy and respect for those who have experienced a teenage pregnancy.
No M-TV teen moms, no sugar-coating, no horror stories - just honesty, humility, humour and love. Real life.
