The author, Bianca Smuts (de Koning), lives and writes from the heart of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, where her life is deeply rooted in the soil of Humansdorp and the surrounding farm communities where she grew up. Her deep connection to the South African community often inspires the themes of resilience and belonging found in her writing.
A full-time accountant by trade, she dedicates her creative energy to exploring the universal themes closest to her heart: the unwavering power of friendship, the profound necessity of faith, and the quiet strength of courage.
She shares her life with her beloved husband, Bennie Smuts, and their three beautiful daughters (while always honoring the memory of their angel daughter). The family is active in the Dutch Reformed Church in the Loerie Community.
When she's not balancing ledgers or crafting emotionally resonant novels, you can find this proud farm girl indulging in the simple, joyful things: perhaps playing in the rain and mud with her children, or gathering friends and family around a perfect South African braai.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Blindsided by a pregnancy just six months after the birth of her second daughter, the author finds her life-and faith-shattered when early scans signal a profound crisis. What begins as a fight against genetic defects is soon revealed to be a battle against the inevitable: at 16 weeks, doctors confirm their daughter, Lene, has a terminal heart defect, incompatible with life.Carrying Lene A Heart So Small is the raw, intimate memoir of the two-day, agonizing induction that follows, chronicling the mother's emotional breakdown and the terrifying physical collapse when her own heart failed under the strain. In an act of profound self-preservation, she makes the agonizing choice to say a final, silent goodbye, carrying home only a tiny clay handprint as proof of her daughter's existence.But the story doesn't end with loss. Fueled by a vivid dream where Lene gives her a mandate to survive, the author navigates the chaotic aftermath-the surgical cleanup, the crippling self-blame, and the immense pressure to carry on for her two living daughters. The book culminates in a miraculous, high-risk rainbow pregnancy that proves life persists, teaching the family that true healing is not about moving on from Lene, but learning the sacred, resilient work of carrying her with them forever. This is a profound testament to the power of enduring love, proving that even the shortest life can leave the deepest, most radiant imprint. This item is printed on demand.
