Timileyin | 1 comments Book clubs often seek titles that provoke thought and challenge assumptions. A Bun in the Oven does exactly that. It asks us to reconsider what we take for granted: the food we eat and the way we give birth. Why do most Americans still eat processed foods despite the food movement’s popularity? Why do so many births still happen in hospitals with high rates of C-sections despite decades of advocacy for natural birth?

Rothman’s book doesn’t just describe problems—it invites readers to question the systems that shape our lives. It challenges us to think critically about the choices we make and the structures that limit those choices. For a book club, this is the kind of book that sparks debate, disagreement, and ultimately deeper understanding. It’s not about finding easy answers—it’s about asking hard questions.

Jane Rozek (goodreadscomjane_catherine_rozek) | 4 comments I write a book series that addresses the hard questions within a storyline of grit and determination to marry a mountain man building a ranch in the wilderness. The depth is there, a thread of spirituality, and yes, there is romance! [bookcover :Purity Found: Based on a true story....|63095888]
