Signet, 1988
Sad tale of a Mother who Murdered
+ One Strange Lady..... + The Sociopathic Woman
This is a riveting and spellbinding book about a woman who let her sick obsessions overrule her heart and her love for her children. It is a story about selfishness and desire. It is about how children become pawns in a world of lust and greed and how they paid the ultimate price. Thankfully, ...

Miss American Pie: A Diary of Love, Secrets and Growing Up in the 1970s 31 reviews Margaret Sartor
Bloomsbury USA, 2007
Good coming-of-age for women
+ Drove My Horse\Bicycle to the Levee + It Surely Took Courage To Share This
The things that mortify a teenage girl are so funny when you're thirty like me. This coming-of-age diary is revealing, humorous and relatable for all women. Some excerpts: "I don't know if my physical desires are normal or sinful, but they are certainly distracting."
"It bothers me that I'm ...

American Experience - A Midwife's Tale 3 reviews Ron Tough, Eric Jaillet
PBS (Direct), 2006
Wonderful glimpse into the life of a wife, mother, and midwife
+ Perfectly wonderful
This is a PBS documentary about the diary of an 18th century midwife named Martha Ballard. It is interesting to view how her life was chronicled in her own words and portrayed so beautifully through this film. I also got a better understanding of life in those difficult times and how life was ...

You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman: The Diary of a New Mother 32 reviews Judith Newman
Miramax, 2005
Oh - I can so RELATE - and still LAUGH OUT LOUD!
Judith Newman self-admittedly did not dream of having kids from when she was a little girl. Quite the contrary. Although I was always told I would be a 'great mother' - I never wanted kids either - until I was 'almost too old'. I am now pregnant at 41 and LOVING IT. Judith's and my roads are ...
