If you are a mom, read this book. If you are not, do it too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book brings justice to an overseen truth about mothers: we are vulnerable. Since the moment we conceive, we are suddenly carrying this unbelievable responsibility that everyone else seems to find normal, although we know it is sometimes unbearable. The survival of a human being depends on us. Loosing a baby, seen our child die, the ultimate devastation. Janna Malamud Smith brings light into this topic, writes wonderfully well, and tells anectodes like the best storyteller. She is smart, intelligent, profoundly educated. It is a joy to read such a complete and profound book.
