Arrival Stories: Women Share Their Experiences of Becoming Mothers by Christy Turlington Burns, Amy Schumer
5.0
I fully recognize this book isn’t for everyone, but it was perfect for me! Arrival Stories is a book of essays written by women on the arrival stories of their children. Amy Schumer compiled this book and she did a fantastic job finding a range of stories from easy births to complicated births, natural births to c-sections to at home births, adoption stories to infertility stories to miscarriages and stillbirths.
This book made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me feel all the things.
If you had asked me a few years ago, this book probably would not have appealed to me. After having my daughter, nearly 2 years ago now, I have become obsessed with birth stories. They aren’t kidding when they say no 2 birth stories are alike and you can’t prepare for what will happen when yo give birth. I love telling my “Arrival Story” and I will gladly listen to anyone else’s!
I highly highly highly recommend this to any momma’s (or anyone else) who are like me and love to hear these stories!
Trigger Warnings: Miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth.
