A newly published author from Kings Langley is excited about the launch of her first book.

Finding the Rainbow, by Rachel McGrath of Roman Gardens, is a memoir about her journey through infertility and recurrent miscarriage and what she describes as a personal journal of sorts to help her stay positive.

Mrs McGrath grew up in Brisbane, Australia, before moving just North of London in her early thirties, where she met and married her husband.

She said: "My hope is to 'lift the lid on fertility issues', something that is not talked about openly, and something I personally struggled with (as it is a taboo subject) when I was going through these issues."

The book, published by Pegasus Publishing, will be available on Thursday, May 21, but can be pre-ordered on Amazon.co.uk now.

Mrs McGrath has also started blogging on her website www.findingtherainbow.net
