Reviews of “Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me?”
“Being a first-time mom is hard enough. Books like this make it all that much easier.”
Marie D. Jones, Curled Up With a Good Book
“Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me? helps bust the motherhood myths with sensitivity, honesty, and a ‘tell it like it is’ approach.”
Shoshana S. Bennett, Ph.D., President of Postpartum Assistance for Mothers and author of Postpartum Depression for Dummies
“These courageous women do not grab the headlines, but grab our hearts and our attention. They speak for the vast majority of new mothers everywhere who have discovered that this highly charged, emotional phase of life is one for which most are unprepared. Bowden drives home the old adage that education is the first line of defense.”
Ilyene Barsky, MSW, Founder and Director of The Center for Postpartum Adjustment
“The stories Bowden tells, in addition to her reflections on the circumstances that each mother faced, contain not only realistic depictions of motherhood, but also helpful insights and strategies to cope with being a new mom. This book has real news for new moms.”
Claudia Heilbrunn, Life Coach for first-time moms
“As a birth and postpartum doula, I feel this book is a ‘must have’ in a new parent’s library. The days and weeks following the birth of a baby are not always as easy as some make it seem. In this wonderfully written book, women can find first-hand information, advice, and resources about the possible struggles they may face.”
Jennifer Rode, Certified Doula (Doulas of North America)
“Bowden does a great service to mothers everywhere, and to their children and partners, by bringing attention to the hard parts of motherhood amidst all its blessings.”
Rick Hanson, Ph.D., co-author of Mother Nurture: A Mother’s Guide to Health in Body, Mind, and Intimate Relationships
“If you know an expectant mother, be sure to give her a copy of Bowden’s book.”
Elisabeth Sherwin, Book Reviewer, The Davis Enterprise
