This book, like almost books, certainly, was once nothing but a joke between friends. Deep inside my heart, I could not believe that my outpourings could ever be read by a publisher and accepted for publication. But it happened, and now I need your help. 

 It is a kind of a diary I was writing for over three years as a mother and is a compilation of the major publications that I shared on my facebook page and which had great acceptance on the part of my friends. There are outpourings, real stories, most described with humor, as both are the daily routine of a mother of a child in his early life. 

My mother, always clever, tells me that I find the texts I write funny because they are about things that happened to me and my daughter. And that friends also like it because they know that they are true stories that I'm reporting. I believe it might be true but, anyway, I would risk it and ask you support in this battle!

 

About the author

Inês Guerreiro Relvas was born on February 7, 1981 and even before birth started to make the difference, forcing her mother to go to Lisbon only to give her birth. 

Lived in Água Derramada, Grândola until age 17, when she headed to Lisbon to study Civil Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, having graduated in 2003. In 2004 she started working in Lisbon and since then she had continued to live by the city neighbourhoods. 

Became a mother in 2011, an experience which changed her life and her way of facing the problems forever.

 

Budget and due dates

The retail price of the book will be 15 € per copy. My commitment to the publisher is to acquire 150 copies for the price of € 13 per copy, which makes a total of 1,950 €. As you may imagine, with my little daughter to attend kindergarten I am left wide discretion to invest this amount in a project that began as a joke. It's a dream I have, but there is a point where dreams can not overcome the reality because the costs are real. In the end I will have to pay a commission of 5% (+ VAT) for PPL platform, but I'm willing to pay that amount, if you can help me achieving my goal. Obviously if you want to and / or can help me with this expense, I will thank you. It remains for me the issue of shipping which should be included in the rewards provided. The deadline for books publication is 4 months after signing the contract with the publisher, so I can not guarantee delivery of rewards before January 2015, at least (there goes the Christmas gifts 2014). The publisher with whom I am working told me that usually takes less than four months but I can not commit myself, because I will only sign the contract after gathering the necessary amount. Anyway I'm going to be updating the information as I get new data, obviously.
