I love...your clarity about 'relationships' explored throughout the book, my greatest take-home message, and the enlightening power of your glossary. The concepts are so real, everyday occurrences. They lead to such an enhanced self-understanding. The concepts are so practical, useful, preventive in nature, and soul-searching. I am amazed and astounded in what you've accomplished. A great job and a great joy to read. -FREDERICK LOVEJOY, M.D. Associate Physician-in-Chief, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School Dr. Peebles offers an insightful window into the challenges many of us face as we try to be the best parents we can be while simultaneously processing our own childhood experiences, our relationships with our own parents, and ever-evolving relationships with our partners. [He]offers helpful perspectives and advice for addressing these challenges in a book that is easy to read and filled with helpful, and sometimes lighthearted, anecdotes. -INGRID IRIGOYEN Wife and working mother of 4-yr-old twins & 4-month old After reading this book, I feel that we are both better prepared for this next chapter of our lives. As first time parents-to-be, the majority of the parenting books we have come across focus primarily on the logistics of parenthood, with much less time spent addressing the impact that having a baby will have on our relationships with each other, with the baby, and with the other people in our lives. Based on real parent's experiences, [this book] gives us insights into navigating the psychological and emotional side of becoming parents. -SOMMER SPELLMAN Wife and first-time pregnant mother-to-be
