It's on my paperbackswap list. I've read everything on her website, and I'm looking forward to reading this one. I've also read studies, books, articles, etc. that make the same point she's making in this book, as I understand it. (Ex: "Helping Children Cope With Separation And Loss" talks very clearly about how connected an unborn child is with his/her mother, and explains that no matter when the separation happens, it is traumatic.) |
