In this encouraging collection, educator Silbernagel shares powerful and moving stories about women who have made the decision to give birth at home, including accounts of first-time mothers, life after a cesarean, and unlikely locations of delivery--a cow shed in Ireland and on a barge. Like birth itself, these essays depict an experience that is slightly gross but also quite beautiful. The pieces honor the title well, giving voice to the many different women who choose home birth, disputing any myths about hippies or compounds. According to the author, the gentle intimacy of this experience is why so many choose home birth over hospitalization, and that overriding theme shines with positivity. VERDICT Expectant mothers considering home birth will find great support in these stories. Recommended for women's health collections.
