A Special Delivery: Mother-Daughter Letters from Afar

I have just finished reading the most delightful book. Its a book written by a mother and daughter. The book is "A SPECIAL DELIVERY" by Joyce Slayton Mitchell and Elizabeth Dix Mitchell. Each of them are from a different era so they have to accept each others feelings on life. The whole books is letters back and forth to each other. But I can tell you this I could hardly wait to turn the page and see what the other one would respond back with and its wonderful how over the time each began to accept what the other one was saying or doing. Take time and read this book. It will help you develop your thoughts with your Mom or daughter and give you ways to begin having a better relationship.

I just read the most incredible book! The reading was quite quick and it is quite a tearjerker toward the end. I STRONGLY recommend this book. It's an incredible journey through Elizabeth's pregnancy and how close a bond she and her mother have such a great distance and also how the two generations think differently about things.

I didn't understand the role of the midwife until I read A Special Delivery by Joyce Slayton Mitchell and Elizabeth Dix Mitchell. Like the mom in the book, I had a preconceived idea of what a midwife could do and how a midwife would respond in a high-risk situation. After reading this book, I have a much higher comfort level with the role of the midwife in providing prenatal care and delivery.
