Customer Reviews

An excellent read for first time mums!

I picked this book up at my local library while pregnant with my first baby, and now can't wait to get a copy for myself! Cynthia Copeland Lewis' writing style is very clear and direct, making it an enjoyable and easy read. The information inside is very to-the-point for first time mothers, especially if you're afraid or unsure of how life will change once that baby comes into your life.What really sets this book apart from so many others I've read is that it's focus is not on the baby, but rather on YOU, the new mother. Ms. Lewis writes with great sincerity and understanding about how your life will change, about your relationships with others, including your husband. I definitely recommend this as a must-read, or as a great gift for an expectant mum!!!

Unexpected Treasure!

I came across this treasure of a book in my local community library. It reads like a heartfelt letter from a friend, who have gone through the joyous and apprehensive experience of being a first-time mother. This is a great book for those of us who do not know exactly what to expect and sometimes do not have the foggiest idea what questions to ask. Read on and know that you are not the only odd one around!

Simply Awesome!

In doing research in deciding to become a parent or not, I have read MANY books, but this is the only one that "tells it like it is". It is informative and realistic - just what I had been looking for.I think this book should be required reading for young women and any couples thinking about or entering into parenthood.
