Brown does handle those parts tactfully without being dismissive, but I do want people to know that they are there and that if they have any concerns about how emotional they get during birth, they should give it a few months, as it is a great story overall. I want to put this out as a warning to expectant or new mothers that there are some parts that are hard to read on an emotional level. (And even within the month following her birth, I still cried at the thought of anything bad happening to babies.) I wouldn't say I'm desensitized now, but it's easier for me to say "it's only a book" three months down the line than it would have pre- or post-birth. My heart went out to the people it affected in this story, but I would have been a basket case reading it if this was prior to my baby being delivered safely into the world. I could not read it as an expectant mother, as there were some sad and dark parts involving both childbirth and death of infants due to poorly made baby gear. (I'm on my third child now, but it still feels like I'm starting all over again.) I didn't get a chance to read it until a couple of months after my baby was born. Brown told me that this book would be perfect for me to read as a "new" mom. Just like Katie, I don't want to deceive the reader when it comes to important matters. However, I do have to point out a criticism I have with this book.
