As a single mother navigating love, loss, and healing, Tlhobogang learns to embrace her vulnerabilities, find strength in solitude, and redefine her path forward. “I went to therapy when I was younger and found writing as a way to express my thoughts,” Tlhobogang said. At junior school she started to do English Literature, where her love for literature transpired. She loves reading books and analysing them. The author poured out her heart and soul to be read, resonate, heal, and reflect pieces of us all. The memoir is touching and personal and taps into our feelings, a unique proposition that the author wanted to achieve. She started writing at a tender age during her primary school days.
“I was in love, got pregnant, and then found out that I was being cheated on,’’ said an emotional Tlhobogang. She highlights that this is where the pain started and the moment caused her to reflect and pen Fugitive Reflections. Tlhobogang started writing as a way of talking to God, and expressing how she felt. She highlights that she saw life in different dimensions, lenses and scopes. The author plans to mix art, poetry, storytelling and her nursing profession to make healing holistic. Tlhobogang also wrote the book to be more like a piece of advice to her daughter. “Let’s journey through the echoes of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of self”, states Tlhobogang.
