Book Description
As the millennium dawned, Bethany Hallett was looking forward to her 40th birthday. Without a husband or partner, Bethany’s dream of motherhood was looking increasingly distant. Whilst working ridiculous hours in the City, in preparation for a digital holocaust that didn’t materialise, she decided to do something about making that dream a reality. On returning to the UK from New York, she began to look into adopting a child in search of a `forever’ mummy. This is the true story of a family in the making, one fraught with tension yet full of love.

Review
As the millennium dawned, Bethany Hallett had just passed forty. Without a husband or partner, Bethanys dream of motherhood was looking increasingly distant. Whilst working ridiculous hours in the City, in preparation for a digital holocaust that didnt materialize, she decided to do something about making that dream a reality. On returning to the UK from New York, she began to look into adopting a child in search of a ‘forever’ mummy – a journey that was fraught with tension, self-doubt and disappointment. But ultimately one that led to a little girl called Mattie – a lost child in search of love and happiness, of a mummy who would accept her for the individual she was, faults and all. — Honno
