Dianne Hales (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The authors furnish encouraging information on such topics as how to cope with the stress of a high-risk pregnancy; how to survive prolonged bed rest; and what kinds of complications can occur during a high-risk delivery. Expert medical information is included about tests and treatments that is easy to understand and straightforward. Anecdotal passages are included throughout the book, making the reading less ominous and more reassuring. The appendix makes this book an additional source of valuable reference information since it lists addresses of national support groups and associations. A well-organized selected bibliography, suggested further readings, and a glossary are also provided. Highly recommended for public libraries.

She has served as a contributing editor for Parade, Ladies Home Journal, Working Mother and American Health and has written for many national publications, including Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, New York Times, Readers' Digest, Washington Post, Woman's Day, and World Book.

Dianne never expected to fall madly, gladly, giddily in love with Italian, the world's most enchanting language. But fall she did, and her latest book, LA BELLA LINGUA, tells both the dramatic story of Italian and her adventures over more than twenty years of studying and speaking the language.

Dianne ilives in northern California with her husband Robert E. Hales, M.D., and daughter Julia--who were surprised and delighted to discover that their wife and mother was becoming Italian.
