Birth tales is a one-of-a-kind initiative of the Sister Lilian Centre, born to offer women a platform to express what giving birth meant to them. This collection of 28 true South African birth stories will bring a tear to your eye one moment, and a gentle smile to your lips the next.

It’s an enjoyable read, while celebrating the significance of birth in the life of women, babies and families.

The inspiration for the special collection of tales in Against all odds came about when Sister Lilian was introduced to Beulah le Roux Botha and her 54 year old daughter, Elmaré de Lange, South Africa’s oldest living woman with spina bifida. They shared their remarkable tale of despair and glory, pain and pleasure, challenge and faith, and it became crystal clear just how the human spirit can triumph in the face of adversity – against all odds. Mom Beulah, a confident, strong personality, had just the right temperament and devotion to stand by Elmaré every step of the way, and set the tone for this little book, which showcases other mothers and families with the same fortitude, though their stories vary greatly. No matter your beliefs or convictions, Against all odds is sure to fill you with a sense of how need breeds courage, and leave you feeling humbled by how unending a mother’s love is, and inspired by how strong faith and family bonds can be when the odds are stacked against you.
