The surprising success of the stories in the first volume of Bearing Witness prompted a second volume with even more remarkable tales of childbirth told by doulas. Not only do these stories reveal the trials and triumphs of giving birth with the assistance of doulas and midwives, they are genuine works of art. What could be more creative, dramatic, and miraculous than birth?
