Friday the 13th is a lucky day for me this year.

Due to the generosity of Peter Makin at Brilliant Books, we will be having a book launching party in my home territory—Leelanau County—that will feature a meet and greet session, some conversation about the book, wine, light hors d’oeuvres and books for sale! My publisher at Spirituality & Health Books, Victoria Sutherland, and I will be hosting the book launch party at Peter’s store in Suttons Bay, Michigan, from 7-9 p.m. We look forward to celebrating with the local gang of friends and supporters.
Into These Hands, Wisdom From Midwives has been in print for only a month, but so far we have received rave reviews from across the country, such as these.

“I began reading your book Saturday night. I am still in the introduction and am blown away by your beautiful writing style: from the heart and from the soul. No wonder Victoria Sutherland wanted this published. I started reading and just started crying….” -Local physician
“I LOVE THE COVER!!!!! Precious! LOVE the website. Love, love, love it all. Congrats! It looks like a hit!” –Mother of Four
“I loved the chapters—they are such amazing and beautiful narratives, such important histories to record for posterity—you’ve done a magnificent job as have your contributing authors.” -Anthropologist
And there are more. So, needless to say I am thrilled. Please come join us for a celebratory party, and please buy some books for yourself or as gifts to friends, families, libraries, schools, health care agencies and professionals, or others. I look forward to seeing you.
