You are a mother now, and your life is very different. Self-Esteem. Loss of Memory. Growth. Duty. Bliss. Fear. Delusions of Adequacy. Mystery. Awe. The changes that transform a new mother are sudden and insistent. But they are also universal: they happen to everyone.
In a lifeline thrown from one mother to the next, Beth Wilson Saavedra has written a book of meditations that reassuringly address the emotions, doubts, conflicts, anxieties, and wonders of living with a newborn. It is a woman's group, the wisdom of the ages, and a close friend all rolled into one. Keep it on your night table.
