"Hygeia
Halfmoon truly knows and can articulate the most basic, primal needs
of infants and children with insight, consistency, and brevity
which is exceedingly rare. She knows of what she speaks, especially
in the areas of caring for babies in a society which does not readily
understand or respect their most basic human needs.
"When
babies are born, they don't know what century it is, nor do they know
on which continent they were born, nor the standards or rules of conduct
imposed by outside influences. They do know what they need, though.
And so does Hygeia Halfmoon."

"Every
woman who has felt the joy of following her most primal mothering instincts,
and the pain of living in a world that often discourages her from doing
so, will see herself in this book. Hygeia's story is both touching and
inspiring, from her heartbreaking and unnecessary C-section, to her
glorious unassisted home birth."
