Book Club Roundtable
Getting Real
Chaunie Brusie
A Catholic mother who is being real? Who admits that she loves her sleep, isn’t really a baby person, and finds parts of pregnancy as annoying as I do? Yes, please.
The Book I've Been Waiting For
Melanie Bettinelli
Pregnancy is a uniquely challenging experience, not only physically, but also spiritually. Yet it is precisely this spiritual dimension that is so often neglected in books on the subject.
Not "What to Expect When You're Expecting"
Julie Davis
Reinhard is reassuring, down to earth, and sympathetic without ever being sappy or unrealistic. This is a book that I’m going to be giving to many of my friends who are young mothers.
The Essential Pregnancy Companion
Kathy Schiffer
The inclusion of Baptism is just the pièce de résistance: a beautiful finale to the nine months of waiting and worrying and planning.
Mary's Wisdom
Calah Alexander
I think reading Sarah’s insightful reflections on our Mama would have been invaluable to me as I tried to reconcile myself to being mama to another little soul.
Counsel for Pregnancy
Elizabeth Scalia
What Sarah has put together is not a "pregnancy is bliss" book but "pregnancy and motherhood is a cross and it's hard because it's great" kind of book that urges moms to make the burden more bearable through prayer and the companionship of Our Lady.
