A fictional account of modern childbirth and a romantic novel rolled into one.
Birth in Suburbia follows the experiences of three heavily pregnant women, Debbie, Helen and Liz, taking the reader through the final weeks of their pregnancies.
It is filled with information about pregnancy and labour with strategically placed helpful tidbits of information throughout the story, although the story drives the novel so that it doesn’t feel like a data-laden textbook on pregnancy.
The story slowly builds and culminates with all three women going into labour within a 48 hour period, tied together by the midwifery student Gemma traveling to each birth and learning new things along the way. Each pregnancy and labour is very different and described in detail: a caesarean section in a hospital bed, a natural home birth on a futon, and an uncomplicated hospital delivery in an alternative position.
Expectant mothers may find plenty of information on what to expect in childbirth by reading this novel, while feeling entertained rather than slogging through a more straight-forward nonfiction text.
A heartwarming story sharing the bond between two sisters.
When Cathey loses her husband in a tragic plane crash, her younger sister Cassie doesn't think twice about leaving her glamorous job in New York City to be there for her sister and her three young daughters. Having lost her own father at an early age she knows what her nieces are going through.
After four years Cathey finally realizes she is going to have to pull herself out of her depression,not only for her children's sake, but for her own sanity; she has to face the fact that her husband is gone and she will have to raise her daughters without a father. Imagine the shock she experiences when while on a family vacation to Disney World, she walks out of the restroom to run face to face into Daniel, the man she thought was dead and finds out that he's been living with another woman and has two sons by her.
