In this exceptional collection of original essays, twenty-five
celebrated writers share one of their most intimate and
life-changing experiences: giving birth. Moving, uniquely honest,
and transformative, Great Expectations takes the reader on an
emotional and physical journey like no other: Lynn Coady relates
the painful memory of her teenage pregnancy and the anguish of
having to give up her newborn for adoption; Peter Behrens expresses
a father’s feeling of utter helplessness and incomparable joy
during the birth of his first child; Christy Ann Conlin describes
pregnancy and birth at age forty; Afua Cooper reflects upon the
immigrant’s experience of three pregnancies and childbirths in a
new land with foreign, and evolving, customs; Anne Fleming
contemplates her partner’s artificial insemination and the birth
of a beautiful girl; and Jaclyn Moriarty transcribes her
grandmother’s and her mother’s birth stories, along with her
own, to create a tender oral history spanning three generations.
