If you are a mom, read this book. If you are not, do it too,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Potent Spell: Mother Love and the Power of Fear (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: A Potent Spell (Paperback)
Why has it taken this long for this info. to get out?? Every mother knows these feelings. And most, I would say, have had to 'sell out' in order
to get their child/children raised. I commend the author on a brave, insightful, and powerful text. Read it and heed what it says. This is in the news every day and as close as your children's and grandchildren's lives: the obsessive fears and often obsessive caregiving mothers are forced into. |
