"I have never read a better description of how giving birth helps a woman to grow and realize her potential. This book needs to be read by pregnant or to be pregnant women, to be fathers, midwives, nurses, hospital administrators and, most especially, by doctors." --Dr. Marsden Wagner, Former Director of Women's and Children's Health at the World Health Organization "I love the rational left brain of Roanna Rosewood. And the massive power of her women's wisdom which got to her, as it always does, through her body during birth. Cut, Stapled, and Mended is engaging, honest, and courageous." --Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom "A riveting, personal story, a true 'heroine's journey' of the author's pregnancies, motherhood and the quest for a natural birth. A deeply compelling, rigorously honest, humorous, poignant, and inspiring tale. Anyone interested in the power of natural birth, anyone planning on having a baby or in supporting someone on their journey to motherhood needs to pick this book up. And once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down until you're wiping your eyes, sharing her joy, sharing a heart filled with her triumph." --Sheri Winston, founder and executive director of the Center for the Intimate Arts and author of Women's Anatomy of Arousal "I blamed my midwife for my failure to progress but secretly knew it was me; my lack of confidence lead to my failure to progress. Reading Cut, Stapled, and Mended made me realize that I can start building confidence in my body, mind, and self, now. It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to start getting my life in order, my heart figured out, and my mind straight. Thank you. Roanna Rosewood." --Jennifer Quarne Minsch, mother
