Four mothers, three babies, and four vastly different circumstances. Written from alternate perspectives, this story of interconnectedness reveals the importance of friendships among women in somewhat similar circumstances and the need to truly know what fathers are thinking. ( )
SPOILERS Parts were great. I even managed through all the birth scenes. Becky seemed the most like author and was strongest character, though Kelly's arc was also strong. Two main issues with it: ALL of the dads were clueless?? None of them truly contributed because the moms were breastfeeding and it all went from there?? I guess Becky's husband contributed some. If the characters had just communicated ... Second, Ayinde: not a good example of a black character written by a white writer. Did not ring true in many ways. And the clichés of the Black husband as from a sad background, an athlete, and a cheater? Nope. ( )

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?" "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. when a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truth- ful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." &mdash Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit
