Sara Sommerfeld debuted as a novelist in 2025 with an autobiographical novel that sold 20,000 copies in its first year. Written with the same sharpness and honesty she is known for on stage.

"Very convincingly written — with its pace and personal narrative voice it is very hard to put down."
BTJ · Kajsa Banck · 5/5 Brilliant
The harder the mother fights to save her child, the clearer it becomes that she is also fighting to find herself. An emotionally honest novel about motherhood, love and identity — written with the same fearless honesty that made the debut a bestseller.
