Annabel Youens rated a book 4 of 5 stars One Writer's Beginnings by Eudora Welty	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A lovely insight into Eudora's childhood. I had expected more of the book to focus on "why" she writes. Instead it's more of a memoir with a couple of chapters at the end about how and why she writes. With such lovely prose it's easy to emerse yourse...more

Annabel Youens liked kristin's review of Ina May's Guide to Childbirth: " Ina May Gaskin has got to be the wisest woman alive. I try to soak in everything she says because it all makes perfect sense, and it's all so empowering. I think a major complaint about this book is that it repeats some things from other books she...

A super practical guide to your new baby. I loved the focus on "less stuff" and it's exactly why I bought the book. A big thumbs up for me was the main message the author's convey - here is a lot of information, but don't worry you'll know what to do...more

I picked up Lawrence Hill's book again because I'm pregnant. On the second read, many years later, I wanted to connect with the main heroine who's a "baby-catcher" and see if the novel held a different point of view. The tragic circumstances of her l...more
