It's called The Soldier Son Trilogy and I love it! I'm a slow reader at the best of times but atm, reading with a toddler, a 9yr old, Anthea's illness, and grief - well it's a slow process! I'm nearly finished. It's a great read, I'd recommend anything by Robin Hobb. I've read 11 and a half of her books so far and loved every one! EVERY ONE! she rocks! If I wasn't constantly on line I'd probably read faster What book / author ...

I am interested to know what 'birthy' books (or other topics as relevant) have helped you- whether it be to learn about birth, to recover from birth trauma, or that have generally been influential in how you integrate the concept of birth into your world view. There are quite a few for me, but ...
