Great With Child: Letters to a Young Mother by Beth Ann Fennelly

Beth Ann Fennelly, writing to a newly pregnant friend, goes beyond the nuts and bolts or sentimentality of other parenting literature, in letters that range in tone from serious to sisterly, from lighthearted to downright funny. Some answer specific questions; others muse about the identity shift a woman encounters when she enters Mommyland. This book invites all mothers to join the grand circle of giving and receiving advice about children.
Beth Ann Fennelly, poet laureate of Mississippi from 2016 to 2021, is the author of six books, most recently, Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs. She lives with her husband and their three children in Oxford, Mississippi.
