You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman : Diary of an New (Older) Mother by Judith Newman; Miramax Books 2004
The book chronicles a NY free lance writer’s life conceiving, carrying, and caring for IVF twin sons for almost two years. The book speeds along fueled by anxieties, hideous side effects of the ‘science experiment’ that is her pregnancy, and the heightened fears of many new mothers, especially those who deliver premature infants. Believe it or not, the book is often laugh-out-loud funny. She’s an honest woman, and many of the issues ring bells.

You remind me of me by Dan Chaon; Ballantine Books, May 2004.
I read this remarkable novel with unaccustomed speed and attention. The enigmatic title in all lower case begins the story, as if the author was right there with his readers. The book is about the repercussions of a teenage girl's unplanned pregnancy. And so much more. At the core of it there is an emotional intensity which grips the reader’s lapels and demands full attention. The lapels are attached to the heart. There are sad and scary bits, and genuine insights into how lives are affected and lived from multiple points of view. It captures the pain in these people’s lives. The relationships between parent(s) and child, lovers and married people, generations, and the two brothers are rich with feelings and meanings. And there also exists the celebratory, glorious potential in all babies and very young children.
