A portrait of America's most interesting yet overlooked women.

In the midst of a historic "birth dearth," why do some 5 percent of American women choose to defy the demographic norm by bearing five or more children? Hannah’s Children is a compelling portrait of these overlooked but fascinating mothers who, like the biblical Hannah, see their children as their purpose, their contribution, and their greatest blessing.

The social scientist Catherine Pakaluk, herself the mother of eight, traveled across the United States and interviewed fifty-five college-educated women who were raising five or more children. Through open-ended questions, she sought to understand who these women are, why and when they chose to have a large family, and what this choice means for them, their families, and the nation.

Hannah’s Children is more than interesting stories of extraordinary women. It presents information that is urgently relevant for the future of American prosperity. Many countries have experimented with aggressively pro-natalist public policies, and all of them have failed. Pakaluk finds that the quantitative methods to which the social sciences limit themselves overlook important questions of meaning and identity in their inquiries into fertility rates. Her book is a pathbreaking foray into questions of purpose, religion, transcendence, healing, and growth—questions that ought to inform economic inquiry in the future.

This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s a tapestry that weaves together heartfelt stories, philosophy, economics, wisdom, and history. I was laughing by the first page and moved to tears by the first chapter. Any mother - of one child or of twelve - would do well to read it. It’s been out exactly a day and it’s already helped me find deeper meaning in the “mundane” - the diaper changes, the laundry, the dishes. Because if every task is part of a link that is itself part of a “chain of infinity” (e.g. the impact my family has across generations) … then can they truly be mundane? Bravo, Dr. Pakaluk!

As I write this review, I have tears in my eyes. Catherine writes in a way that makes you feel as though you are in the room with her, listening to the conversations she is having with the women she’s interviewing for this book. I am a mother of 6 and I hope to have more. I have never felt so seen & understood as I do now after reading this beautiful work. My heart is full and is motivated to share with others. I feel I finally can put words to the reasons I continue having more children.
Thank you Catherine for this beautiful work. I will be gifting it to many friends over the years.

I bought this book after I heard the author's presentation at Napa Institute. The nominal topic may seem to be pretty narrow, considering how few families these days have a lot of children. And Dr. Pakaluk also writes from personal experience, as the mother of eight and step-mother of six.

But the book really lays out how much importance our society puts on money and careers. These women have, however, decided that there is something more important than money and a career. At the same time, the women that she interviewed ranged from "only" five children to over a dozen. They made the decision, at various points in their life, that their role in this world wasn't to make the most money and have the most successful career. They redefined what 'success' in life means. Some had lots of money, some did not. Her reflection on this, as a Professor of Economics, is an interesting and challenging view.

At the same time, she goes on to identify a number of implications for our society created by a shrinking family size. A surprising number of the women she interviewed were one of only two children in their family or even an only child. Quite a few of them did not start out thinking "I want to have a huge family." Some did but the others sort of drifted into having more. She also discusses the very positive effects that flow from being a child in a big family, as well as the very positive effects that the eighth, nineth or whatever child has on both the parents and their siblings. As an economist, she points out how that the marginal cost of, say, a sixth child is nowhere as high as you may assume.

An interesting read, well written and a fascinating window into why her subjects chose to have an unusually large family.

This book mixes interviews with mothers of lots of kids with social-demographic notes, and tries to put the replies into themes answering various questions: why, how, who. So, a very interesting read, and an easy one as well.

However my biggest takeaway after reading this book is, boy, being a man is so much better than anything else in the world. If you want a gazillion kids, you can, and fulfilling work and everything else.

If you're female, you have to make a choice: one or the other, for the most part.
If you're male, you can have it all (one husband in the study wanted to be the stay-at-home, and some of the moms still had careers but always limited).

Yeah, I know which part I'd want to play in these stories. One side makes a huge sacrifice (and the book spends most of its time explaining WHY people make this sacrifice, which is basically *everything* for kids/being a mom), the other side? The men/fathers all change, make sacrifices, and fulfill their roles for both their kids and wives. But it doesn't change that one role is immensely more attractive than the other, unless you're the one who wants to be The Parent who stays at home. Which is totally valid, but some of us are doing that right now and going absolutely insane from it.

The moms in the book talk about death and rebirth. Their old selves die, and a new them is reborn. And they're pretty happy with the new them. Some of us just do the dying part though.

I'll be honest. I bought this book because I consider Catherine a friend.

However, I I'm enjoying it, which I didn't necessarily expect. Catherine is an economist, and the book is the result of a qualitative study of women who have many children (5+). What surprised me was the high quality of the story-telling within the book; it is full of quotes rather than dry data, and the economics is built in so that even the statistics are very readable. The moms in the study are (mostly) not super-moms but normal women from a range of socio-economic and religious backgrounds. I am finding it very affirming of my own life choices.

The most startling statistic (for me) was that if every woman in the U.S. had the one more baby (on average) she would like to have, we wouldn't even have a birth dearth. This book makes having that one more baby seem not just possible, but enjoyable.

I like it so much that I bought a copy for a friend of my son's who is in the throes of the "littles" life. I recommended it to two co-workers who are moms of 1 and 2, respectively. I am planning to leave it around for my daughters and daughter-in-law to look at, and I mentioned it at our family Easter Zoom. I am trying to think how to get this book out there more - first of all to mothers, but also to policy wonks and influencers.

Go and read!

I enjoyed reading about the many women who chose to have a large family in today's "It's All About Me" culture.
