Penguin Random House has shared an excerpt from the audiobook of A Woman Makes a Plan by Maye Musk, read by the author!

In A Woman Makes a Plan, Musk shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything).

Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends – and is 71 years old.

But things were not always so easy or glamorous – she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modelling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents.

But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the ‘prime of her life’.

Musk’s memoir will be published in South Africa by Jonathan Ball Publishers in April.
