New Life, An anthology for Parenthood guides the reader through the big dipper emotions of parenthood - the joy, the puzzlement, the wonder, the comedy. It captures the love and the moments of despair. There are love songs to sing to the baby and games to play. Great writers old and new - from Tolstoy to Sylvia Plath and John Lennon - record their sense of wonder. This is the book you need in the still watches of the night to help you understand and appreciate this period of your life which will never return.

This completes Emerson's trilogy of anthologies of poetry and prose about the great stages of life - New Life for birth and parenting, Be Mine for love and marriage, and In Loving Memory offering practical help for planning words to commemorate those who have died as well as being a moving and consoling resource for the process of moving from mourning to morning.
