Over the Moon

Więcej o książce

*Royalties donated to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin* Over the Moon is a collection of wonderful stories told by some of Ireland's most well known and well loved personalities on how life changed when their new born arrived. Both mothers and fathers tell stories of when their child was born - some romantic, some dramatic and some bordering on hell raisingly scary! But all with the one common theme, that pregnancy and the endless hours/days of labour are genuinely worth it in the end! The book features stories by Paul Costelloe, Ian Dempsey, Mary O'Rourke, Lorraine Keane, Cathy Kelly and Amanda Brunker to name but a few. It is a heart warming read. No matter how long the forty weeks seem, or indeed how much the birthing plan goes out the window, the end result is the same an inexplicable falling head over heels in love with your newborn. Over the Moon is undeniably full of the most honest and wonderful accounts - guilt, the unknown, joy, sleep deprivation, laughter and learning. Becoming a parent profoundly alters your values, your beliefs, your priorities, as you are confronted with the miracle and wonder and sometimes the heartache of your own children. Here some of Ireland's top personalities write open reflections about their experiences of becoming a parent. It's a must for all parents or would-be parents!
