MAD BAD LOVE By SARA-JAYNE MAKWALA KING Melinda Ferguson Books
SHE always sounds so upbeat on the radio few people listening to Sara-Jayne Makwala King would've had any idea of the hell she was going through.
But now, in her new memoir, Mad Bad Love, the popular CapeTalk presenter opens up about the desperation she felt as she tried to rescue the man she loved from heroin addiction.
For more than a decade, Enver popped in and out of her life as he struggled to break free of his drug habit.
After falling pregnant with his child, however, SJ became even more determined to make him see the light.
But how can you help someone who doesn't seem to want to be saved?
For readers sitting judging from the comfort of their couches, it's hard to have much sympathy for a father who's willing to go so far as to pawn his newborn child's babygrow so he can get money to score his next hit. It seems obvious that SJ is fighting a losing battle.
However, as she explains her own traumas, it becomes clearer why she finds it impossible to give up on Enver.
SJ touched on some of this stuff in her bestselling 2017 memoir, Killing Karoline, and now in this sequel, she goes even deeper.
