Description
Waiting for a little something…
A motivational memoir which is as real as it is miraculous.
After getting married, trying for a baby was the next logical step. But nothing happened. Nothing. Months and months of nothing. Medical tests showed that there were issues on both sides and treatment would be required to even have a small chance of getting pregnant. But with almost 100 pounds of weight loss standing in the way, Elizabeth Lockwood just couldn’t see how it would be possible.
But it was, and after losing weight, IVF treatment became a reality. Two treatment cycles later, and no baby, Elizabeth turned to running to aid her mental health. In training for marathons she found a positive way to move forward.
But then it all changed…
Little Something is about hopes, dreams, and resilience. Finding ways to illuminate the darkness, and never ever giving up. Oh, and the miracles that occur when you least expect them.

Person
Elizabeth Lockwood was born in a small town in South Wales, but grew up all over the place. She spent most of her childhood reading or trying to be the funny one. She gained three English degrees at different universities and tried (but mostly failed at) several types of career. Elizabeth followed a rather manic path to motherhood. After years of infertility, weight loss and marathons, the ups and downs have taken her from heartbreak to happiness and helped her become a more positive person. Her first book, Little Something, is about her fertility journey. Elizabeth is a co-founder of The Amethyst Angel, an independent collaborative publisher. She lives in Wales with her husband and children, and loves taking part in running events, studying psychology, baking cakes, writing, editing books, and anything magical.
