THE BOOK
Co-authored by the bestselling radio and television personality Sam
Cowen, this book emerged from the authors' hilarious e-mails to each
other while housebound with their newborn babies, and grew into an
ongoing dialogue on motherhood and all it entails: from pregnancy,
childbirth and weight gain to toddler sex education, kiddies' parties,
and how to reclaim the marital bed for oneself and one's partner.
Interspersed with these e-mails are their letters of advice to readers
of their column in Your Baby magazine and contributions by experts in
every conceivable field, from GPs to dieticians.
With wicked wit and frank, down-to-earth advice, these two best friends
offer a fresh perspective on motherhood that will keep the reader
chuckling from beginning to end.
