 The Red Tent, by Anita Diamont If you like historical fiction I think you'll like this book based on characters from the Book of Genesis. The red tent is a place where woman come to gather during their cycles of menses, birth and postpartum and even in sickness and dying. This book is told in the voice of Dinah, daughter of Jacob, a woman who gets a small mention in the Book of Genesis. Here she has an entire book written about her and her mothers, whom are four sisters married to Jacob. "Like any sisters who live together and share a husband, my mothers and aunties spun a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," writes the author in the voice of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down to me, the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear. They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." In this fictional account, Dinah grows up to be a midwife following in the footsteps of her mother/aunt Rachel. A perfect gift to give to the woman in your life who has a passion for reading . I found this book hard to put down, and at its ending I wished that I could open the book once more and have the story start again where it had left off. PB BF HOME
Baby Catcher, Chronicles of a Modern Midwife, By Peggy Vincent I laughed loud, I cried hard, I kicked my husband's heat seeking feet away in the wee hours of the morning as I read furiously through one particularly tense moment in this fascinating book. Here is the story of Berkeley midwife Peggy Vincent, her path from traditional nursing school to private home birth practice. This memoir chronicles some of the author's most unforgettable births and leaves the reader aching for more. To know that this book exists, that is has been published by a major publishing house only heightens my hope that midwifery will be become more accepted as superior to obstetrician managed birth, and that birthing in the security of one's home will become second nature.

I'm goosebumps excited about this new book from the author of Spiritual Midwifery. I was especially thrilled to see Christiane Northrup's glowing stamp of approval on the cover of this book."My most fervent prayer for all pregnant women is that they read this book and heed it's wisdom. In doing so, they will remember their women's wisdom and never forget it. Thank you Ina May, from the bottom of my heart for writing this guide to natural childbirth. This information can change the world." |
