Reviews:

• This is not a dry text book remote from reality, but a powerful 'manual' that burns the knowledge women need in an indelible way on heart and mind.
  —Aims Quarterly Journal
• For all those women who are feeling . . . alone-in-the-struggle . . . here is the book they have needed for reassurance and as an antidote to the naysayers with whom they are surrounded. Here are the first person accounts of the women, their husbands, mid-wives, and physicians that will provide information and support for women who plan on a vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section.

  : It is the book for every woman who hopes for VBAC. In fact, many first-time cesareans could be avoided if this book were read first. It is thorough, it is compassionate.
