Jean takes us through her own unique voice through a life that has seen many changes. Throughout, Jean’s career as a nurse, from Apartheid-era South Africa through to the present day she has learnt much and now passes these life lessons on in this book.
I loved this book! It was nostalgic and with lots of humour, and it made me cry and laugh at the same time. It is very heartfelt with great advice. One of my favourite reads!

Author of Dipping into Memories
Jean’s fascinating life story draws precious, wise lessons at every turn. This book will make you laugh, cry, and think about how you live your life. It is not just a story of one life – interesting as that life is – it is a tale of awakening that is relevant to all people interested in growing, learning and loving.

For 56 years she has worked as a qualified nurse, a counsellor and a carer to those in need (in intensive care, geriatrics and hospice care amongst other fields). She also coaches in Life Skills. Jean has seen the world, living and working abroad, but is most happy now living in her childhood home, built by her father’s own hands, near Johannesburg in South Africa.
