From Booklist Unlike most guides for new mothers, which focus on practical skills for daily care of infants, this one emphasizes the necessary emotional and psychological transformation required for a woman to become a mother. Psychotherapist Leonhardt-Lupa explores the impact of her own mothering, changes in self-identity, unreasonable expectations for motherhood, and changes in sexuality and the body to help women prepare for the challenges of mothering a new baby. A lengthy case study reinforces her insights. Although Leonhardt-Lupa writes with warmth, she is unflinching in presenting the negative and painful aspects of first-time motherhood, and in the process, she provides unusual and effective reality checks for women who have chosen to assume this responsibility.
