From the Author When I was pregnant, I became my own "expert," reading everything I could get my hands on. But I couldn't find any fictionalized treatments of the topic, and I would have loved that. So I decided to do it myself, and BecomingMom.com is the result. Pregnancy involves a huge emotional and psychological shift, in addition to an absolute onslaught of physical changes. That seemed a very worthy subject to explore. Also, I wanted to write about the notion of friendship and sisterhood or community. How simultaneously easy and difficult it can be to build and sustain this, both with one-on-one relationships and big group relationships. I really hope you enjoy the novel.
