Drawing on scientific study and the author's personal experience, it helps you approach pregnancy and early parenthood with confidence, compassion and a sense of excited anticipation for the future.

Paired with Fatherhood by Matt Logelin, a moving memoir that chronicles the life-changing hours when Liz's life ended and Matt became Madeline's father overnight.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This pairing brings two sides of the parenting journey into one library-worthy package.

Read together, they deliver a balanced, holistic look at modern parenthood—credible guidance plus heartfelt storytelling. It’s an ideal gift for baby showers, a practical addition to any new-parent shelf, and a powerful testament to resilience, love, and the courage to move forward.
