"This book made me realize the unsettling truths about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in the American healthcare system. The author does an excellent job writing her story and suggesting what societal changes need to be made. She empowers new mothers to advocate for themselves during their journey. Overall, very well written. This is a book I will definitely tell my sister about."
