[Rienstra's] memoir tells the truth in a way that few books about parenthood do...(Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Product Description
In Great with Child, Debra Reinstra weaves the story of her own pregnancy, son's birth, and first year of mothering with the experiences of women everywhere. Through recounting the details of her own story-the sonograms, the labor pains, nursing in the middle of the night-Rienstra lays bare how motherhood can alter and deepen a woman's views on just about everything else. And she reveals how-so much more than just an odd assortment of physical changes and fetal developments-bringing a child into this world reshapes the soul.
