Let my pen dance


Book review by Kabelo Kgatea
Let my pen dance is a motivational and spiritual book by Mpho Lekgetho. It is her second non-fiction after her first one titled "From Fear to Hope."  This book is a continuation of her previous book. The book is foreworded by Nkululeko Nxesi who found it very helpful, sensitive and straight to the point.
 Let my pen dance gives courage to the discouraged, hope to the hopeless and power to the weak. The  book is divided into ten powerful chapters or subjects, like:

  * From relief to regret,

  * Choosing forgiveness,
  * Dating in the midst of HIV,

 * Single parenting,

  * Being the only child,
  * Mental health,

  * Disclosing HIV status to children,

 * Personal interview,

 * My inspirational poem
 * My love for reading. 

All the above mentioned ten topics are very personal, spiritual and sensitive. The author is not just sharing her life experience with the world, but she provides advice, direction, hope and courage. 
Let my pen dance  is for everyone even those who are heavily loaded. It is also for those who are HIV positive and could not disclose, who lost their loved one, who have small and big secrets, this is your book. The book will help you to get a new beginning.  
No HIV/AIDS activist has ever been so naked to the world like the author of this book. She went through a lot in life including aborting a baby. She was rejected and judged by Traditionalists, Christians and none Christians alike for her actions. She was crucified by those around her. The author's past is a volume of live experience, mixture sorrow and pain, tears and laughter. Religious or not, this book will change your life. This is the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
To all those who want to give up on life challenges and those who are burning with secrets inside, please read this book and let go.
