by Marni Asplund-Campbell
Category: Religion

With Child is broad-reaching collection of LDS women's descriptions of the complex, baffling, and enlightening experiences of motherhood. The topics range from conception to "confinement", delivery, nurturing, and "loss". Between the beginning of new life and a grandmother's waning energy, the writers explore the place that mothers occupy, especially in spiritual and religious contexts, acknowledging the "fine madness" experienced in the dailiness of shaping new life.
