What if instead of trying to avoid the pain and uncertainty of labor, we asked what we could learn from it? In telling the intimate birth stories of her three children and miscarriage, Julia shows us how giving birth can be one of motherhood's (and life's) greatest teachers. Rather than giving advice on how to labor or how to parent, this book consistently offers the message that a woman can grow through the challenges that life presents her and learn to trust herself. For women who share a tendency for "getting it right," this honest and unguarded memoir is a reminder that the pretense of control is no match for the freedom of letting go.

Mommy Poisoned Our House Guest is a collection of anecdotes about a "detail-oblivious" homemaker and traveler, told from the point of view of her mentally challenged son. The simplicity of language has made this book a favorite with ESL students, and the humorous "conclusions" about life from a child's point of view endears it to anyone with a sense of humor. (Translation published in Russia: Nash otravlennij gost.)
