5.0 out of 5 stars A CELEBRATION FOR MOMS TO BE, October 4, 2006

I have to give this book a five-starred review -- because I have a story in it. Woohoo! My story, "The Great Rabbit Chase" on p. 185, is only one of over 50 humorous and inspiring tales to encourage moms-to-be.

Editor Colleen Sell did a top-notch job compiling an eclectic mix of writers sharing the wonders and woes of maternity. I've laughed and cried reading through these stories, and can't wait to give it as a gift at the next baby shower I attend.

The shiny paperback cover is durable enough to withstand doctor's visits, bathtubs, even delivery rooms ... and who has time to read more than a short story between contractions anyway? Nothing is better for taking a mom-to-be's mind off her aches and pains ... than a book that reminds her it's worth it all...when baby enters the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Stories!, March 15, 2007

By 

Elizabeth "Liz" (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cup Of Comfort For Mothers To Be: Stories That Celebrate a Very Special Time (Paperback)

I got this book as a gift and I am in LOVE with it!! It is such a sweet book! I highly recommend it! All of the stories are positive, even though not all of the stories turn out "perfect." Even the first story alluded to by a past poster was a positive one. Things do not always have a happy ending and it is encouraging to read about someone who experienced it and still found joy in her situation! I am going to buy this book for all of my friends who get pregnant in the future!

This review is from: A Cup Of Comfort For Mothers To Be: Stories That Celebrate a Very Special Time (Paperback)

Do not read this book if you are pregnant! The very first story is about getting bad ultrasound results and months of anguish and the baby being born with a disability. Not at all comforting. I wish I could give it zero stars.
