Books

A writer who believes in the power of positive storytelling, Ann-Marie Giglio conceived and edited Labor Day, a collection of 32 personal and affirmative accounts of labor and delivery.  Each tale is compellingly readable, the details ringing true, the emotions high, with facts that are practical, too.  Manuals and how-to’s tell what to expect. Labor Day tells what actually happens, in the words of the people it’s happened to.

Editorial Reviews

American Statesman

Giglio has painstakingly put together a variety of stories: natural births, epidurals, in hospitals, at home, with midwives, with obstetricians.

New York Daily News

These nonsappy anecdotes…make a perfect shower gift. They are funny and inspiring enough to ease any fears about what’s ahead.
