<p>In English for the first time, with a foreword written by Zindzi Mandela, daughter of Nelson Mandela, this is a heartbreaking memoir of infertility, adoption, and fatherhood from one of Denmark’s most beloved tv personalities. </p><p>One summer evening, on a blind date that is almost cancelled, Pelle Hvenegaard meets Caroline. He knows right away that this woman is the love of his life and the mother of his children. </p><p>Their path to a family is not smooth. But after six years of infertility and the trials of the adoption system, they finally open the doors of their Copenhagen home to little Zoe Ukhona. </p><p>Pelle’s account, told through letters to his daughter, is brutally honest, heart-wrenchingly tragic, and yet filled with warmth and good humour. It is a story of love, family, and hope. </p><p>Highly recommended to those moved by Sarah Sentilles’ “Stranger Care” and "Finding Chika" by Mitch Albom. </p><p>Pelle Hvenegaard first became world famous at twelve years old when he played the lead role in Bille August's Oscar-winning film "Pelle the Conqueror". A career in television and broadcast journalism followed. He has written four books on themes of adoption, love and identity.</p>
