About this title

Review:

What does it mean to create life, become a mother? In this beautiful compilation of contemporary essays, literary excerpt, ancient wisdom, poetry, ritual suggestion, contemplation and image, creators Andrea Alban Gosline, Lisa Burnett Bossi and Ame Mahler Beanland present an exploration of the journey into motherhood, a life-transforming adventure. The creators have cast their web wide and captured moving, inspirational and passionate writings about motherhood and mothering from the finest writers and thinkers, including Isabelle Allende, Adrienne Rich, Carl Jung, Adele Wiseman, Barbara Kingsolver, Ursula K. Le Guin and Mother Theresa. As co- creator, Gosline writes: "I was moved to compile a book celebrating motherhood because I knew I was not alone in my quest for heightened spiritual awareness as a woman, more peace and knowingness as a parent." For mothers and expectant mothers, Mother's Nature is a helpful guidebook for this vital journey. --Ericka Lutz, Amazon.com
