"Rabuzzi rejects the status quo, presenting viable, often spiritual, alternatives to prevailing high-tech, patriarchal models of childbirth" ( Booklist). Rabuzzi, author of The Sacred and the Feminine and Motherself, contends that childbearing has been denigrated, denied, and devalued. This book is intended to help women rename, re-ritualize, reinterpret, and reframe childbearing for themselves and their partners. "A lovely book. . . . It is a book for anyone wishing to reexamine and reclaim birth's potential for sacredness." —Robbie Davis-Floyd, author of Birth as an American Rite of Passage "Excellent." — The Reader's Review
