What are you reading at the moment?

Catherine’s Gift.

Dr Catherine Hamlin has made her life about improving the lives of women suffering from obstetric fistula. I myself had birth trauma (requiring six operations including an ileostomy bag) so reading this book bought tears and shared experience with the women. Catherine’s story is incredible.
