Review: Helpful resource - Bought this for a student for a research project. Good book and it was a helpful resource.
Review: BEAUTIFUL Book! - WONDERFUL book, perfectly written. I loved the short story form, and I love how it follows the evolvement of birth over Peggy's career and life! It also mirrors my own mother's experience with childbirth as she was having babies from the 60's to the 80's, just as Peggy was working in the industry. I loved hearing the professional perspective. I also lived just outside the bay area where the book takes place, and was born in Marin county in the 80's, which is right near Peggy's turf, while she was active! That made it all the more fun for me, thinking of her humming around town, while I was being born, just over the bridge. :) The book was great, I related to it personally, it was funny, emotional, sad, happy and she's passionate about her topic. All great components of a writer. I'll be sending this off to a friend, which I rarely do! Great book! I couldn't put it down and ripped through it in just a couple days. I was sad when it was over!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for anyone interested in natural birth.
*by A***N on January 24, 2014*

This book was recommended to me by one of my nursing instructors, who knew I was interested in entering into Nurse Midwifery. I wish I had read it back then, as it gives some excellent insights about birth. What made this book particularly interesting (and useful) to me, is that it is written by someone who attended many births in many different settings. Vincent was a nurse, a nurse-midwife in a hospital, and a home-birth midwife. This means she gives a very well-rounded view, rather than just promoting one setting over the other. Also, unlike some books about midwifery and natural birth, she doesn't paint all medical professionals as evil. In fact, she is very careful to mention those that were wonderful advocates for the mothers, as well as those that she felt were callous or unethical. Her birth stories are enjoyable to read. Some are endearing, some empowering. She doesn't say that all births were perfect, but she does say that birth itself is perfect, and that is a refreshing point of view when so many people are taking one side or the other about natural birth. I give this book a 5 star review for being honest, concise and entertaining. It is not a how-to book, so don't expect lengthy medical dialog describing the birth process. It focuses on the characters in birth--mother, father, child, attendees. It does however prove that with proper support, birth can be a wonderful process rather than a horror-fest, even when things go wrong.
