Anne H. Putnam
Share
For Anne H. Putnam, it became unavoidable - by the age of seventeen she weighed over twenty stone and had tried everything, from dieting to fat camp to wearing big t-shirts. When she decided to have weight-loss surgery, she thought everything would change. But now, nine years later and ten sizes smaller, she has discovered that changing your body doesn't automatically change how you feel about it.
It took six years for Anne’s Prince Charming to make her believe their fairytale was real.
And only six weeks to completely destroy it.
MAKE DO AND MEND, the breakup memoir of the year.

Shamelessly using my baby to show off my book cover because she's out today! The book, that is – the baby has been out for weeks now 😏
It's pub day, which means Make Do and Mend is officially out in the world, and available wherever books are sold!* I spent years writing and rewriting and querying and rewriting and editing and publishing this book, and it would mean so much to me if you'd consider buying it or borrowing it from your local library. I think a lot of people will enjoy it; it's an easy read that'll still make you think.
Thank you all for tolerating my promotional posts and stories. They're not going to stop anytime soon but I promise to keep the memes coming in stories, too.
*Granted, you probably can't find it in your local B&N – yet! But it's available from all the usual online retailers and you can order it from your favorite brick and mortar. Who knows, maybe they'll order a bit of stock if they notice enough people asking for it 👀
