Description
The Forbidden Blessing is an auto-biography on teenage pregnancy life experiences. It takes
readers on an emotional roller-coaster filled with many heartfelt lessons to learn. Lerato taps into
the socio-cultural factors that impacted on her teenage pregnancy and many other teenagers, and
opens up a dialogue on how culture has an impact on teenage parents.
In her words, “teenage pregnancy is like a scientific-project. It means living life like you are a
scientific tool being put beneath microscopic lenses for examination or being input into a CIA
surveillance programme. Every single thing you do is pulled apart into pieces and poked into to
find judgment and all the wrong things that come with it.” Her story, begins and ends as a love
story, with a twist of heartbreak in between. This is a book for teenagers who have gone through
teenage pregnancy and an eye opener to those who are yet to experience it.
