The arrival of a baby takes you by surprise. However much you plan and prepare, the reality can be startling. Suddenly you have responsibility for a new little life. Help! I'm a New Mum! is a book of honest shouts and whispers to God about all things baby – from labour to love, from panic to peace, from smells to smiles.

The prayers are not always polite but they're real and will prove a good companion for any new mum.

'Pam's empathetic approach gives these prayers a healthy dose of realism, understanding and wisdom.' Nicky Edwards Mum of two daughters.
