REVIEWS

Tamara, let me start by saying how honored I am that you asked me to help beta your book! Right from the beginning, with just the Preface, I knew this was going to be a joy to read. Your voice shines through as a writer. I found the information to be easily digestible. Full disclosure, I am not someone who is very religious, but I never once felt that the information in your book was not for me and I found myself being able to relate to a lot of what you wrote.  ~Erica Pretel, LMSW

I love that you’re writing this book. I think we need more of this. The Birth World needs more like this. I’m picturing where it could work great next to all the other books birthing mothers receive. This is beautiful and could be used for a small group, individual study, or part of a childbirth education class. ~Louise Stanton, MAOL

The book is incredible and one that only God could write through you. Hallelujah! [I] cannot wait to join you on one of your book tours! This is your greatest birth. ~Susan Bigelow, Editor SRB Writes

I questioned what value I could bring to this field of knowledge, and initially, I wasn't interested in the idea. I laughed and replied, Okay, this is your call.

Once reality sunk in, I began crafting the table of contents. The nine chapters, one for each month of pregnancy, came to me within minutes. I felt a sense of cleverness and knew that God was working through me. Little did I know that this would become my routine for the next seven to eight months. I would receive an idea,
