**Discussion of some mature themes**
While Lauren K McKellar is no stranger to publishing, this year marks the release of her first foray into women's fiction with a thoroughly delightful, uplifting and thought-provoking novel entitled 'The Calendar Mums'.
Published by HQ Fiction, 'The Calendar Mums' is a novel about motherhood and the importance of female friendships. A novel that, to me, was 'The Calendar Girls' meets 'Big Little Lies'.
Trust me when I tell you this is a must-read novel for anyone woman who has struggled with post-natal identity, body-image or indeed grief.
I enjoyed a wonderful chat with Lauren for the podcast recently.
