I know what you mean about people expecting the book to be more about birth…part of the point of writing it was to show that midwive’s do much more. I’m surprised that it seemed slow. Most readers whip right through it in a day or two.

I wanted you to know that the book is dedicated to the courage of ordinary women. If you haven’t read it, you’ll see what I mean. I have another book coming out, in April, Natasha. I can have the editor send you a copy if you are interested in doing a review.

This one is more about birth, Arms Wide Open: A Midwife’s Journey. Another memoir. It follows me from the hippie homesteading homebirth days, through communes, through my training and finally ends a few years after The Blue Cotton Gown stopped. A grown up adventure story about idealism, hope and change. I know you are loaded with books to read, Natasha. All my best to all your followers. It’s a beautiful website. No longer a lurker!

After I thought about the “suddenly ending novel”, I realized that the author had done it for a reason. It turned out to be a most pleasant thought process for me.

As an author, it can sometimes be difficult to fulfill the need of every single reader. I do try.

Just a thought, I wanted to share.
