OUR NEXT EVENT
FROM A RECENT READER
​
“Too Much Love” is a triumph. It is joyful, sad, poignant, loving, overwhelming, heartbreaking, and heartwarming—just like life. It is a book written by women, but it is not just for women. I read it as a son, father, and grandfather. There are themes that are universal such as the joys and challenges of parenthood, or the tragedy of losing a child. Then, there are themes that apply exclusively to women like delivery complications, inadequate preparation, poor and conflicting medical advice, absent or less than fully supportive husbands, and balancing motherhood and work. I think it is important for men to better understand these issues and “Too Much Love” did just that for me. Bravo! It is a triumph.

Readers will laugh, smile, grimace, and cry while journeying with these women who share their fears, pain and joy of giving birth, or becoming an adopted mother, or the burden of living up to a mother’s demand for excellence
