Description:
“Every woman faces seasons of change that can either challenge or uplift you. It is not easy to move gracefully from one stage to another? Women are facing and are going through pure hell and most of the time, we come out stronger, shaped and enriched with wisdom. There are also women, who are not so fortunate to survive these turbulences.
The book was birthed out of a Creative Writing Competition that we had in March 2023. The women featured in Seasons were the top 3 in the competition. We’ve decided to compile their life-changing stories in one book, with the hope to inspire and help other women. Yes, lie can be tough, but how we handle what comes our way when disaster strikes, will indeed prepare us for the next season of our lives. Women are strong, bold, beautiful, brave and brilliant.
Remember, seasons change. You blink twice and find yourself in another situation. But like it or not, the seasons will come and it will go. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the current situations, grow through it, while you are going through it. You are the boss!”

Theolla Langenhoven (1982) werk tans by die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland na jare in die staatsdiens. Sy wil haar skryfwerk gebruik om haar gemeenskapswerk, haar liefde vir administrasie en haar kennis van sielkunde en kriminologie te kombineer en lig te werp op die maatskaplike kwessies wat gemeenskappe in die gesig staar. Van haar kortverhale en artikels is in Kuier gepubliseer. Haar gedigte het in die Lekka Poems-bloemlesing verskyn en in 2023 het sy ’n gebedsboek vir tieners, Die Here kom sterk deur, gepubliseer. Sy beskou dit as ’n voorreg om in 2020 te kon deelneem aan die Kommadagga-slypskool vir kortverhaalskrywers. In 2023 het sy ’n AfriCAN Honoree Authors’ Award ontvang.
