review of Rockabye: A Young Mom's Journey from Wild to Child:
"If you were the type of person to judge a book by it's cover (as I often do), you would at first glance think this book is about a wild young woman who becomes a mother. It is. But it's so much more. It's not just for young mothers (expected or un...more " | |

Rebecca's favorite quotes
"Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. there is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there."
— Henry Miller

"Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end."
