Less time, more demands, jealous siblings, displaced spouses, bigger bills, and bigger automobiles: given all these cons, why on earth would any sane couple consider having more than one child? Author Joan Leonard deals readers a rather loaded deck of cards as she succinctly describes the joys--but mostly the burdens--of "welcoming" a second child to the family. Despite its sweet title, this little book takes a rather acrid look at the unique challenges second-time moms and dads encounter. Luckily for the reader, Leonard presents plenty of advice from pediatricians, gynecologists, family therapists, and parents who have been through it themselves. Topics cover changes couples face during pregnancy, birth, and all of baby number two's first year.
A confessed firstborn herself, Leonard openly admits she did not enjoy being knocked off her proverbial pedestal when "The Other One," her own baby sister, arrived. Perhaps that's why this former contributing editor to Parent's Magazine and author of Tales from Toddler Hell seems to take such glee in reporting the many stresses and strains caused by adding to the family. Don't expect any gloppy, saccharin-tainted anecdotes from Leonard's contributing parents, either. Their "Tips from the Trenches" offer important food for thought about maternity leave and treating your spouse as a mate rather than as a business partner. Some of Leonard's own advice about appeasing the oldest child--like asking if the newborn can wear his or her outgrown clothes rather than just making it happen--lean a little too far toward spoiling. Most helpful are Leonard's chapters on assessing the first labor and delivery and taking steps to ensure a better one the second time around and her final chapter on effective family management. --Liane Thomas
Book Description
Just when you thought you were finally adjusting to being a parent-your stretch marks have faded and you've packed away your nursing bras and maternity clothes-you decide to have a second child. And although you may feel like a parenting expert, the second time around brings its own set of questions, quandaries, and chaos, from tighter finances to new routines. Drawing on the expertise of pediatricians, gynecologists, and family therapists, as well as the anecdotes of mothers everywhere, Twice Blessed covers how to prepare yourself for a different pregnancy and birth, your marriage for another dramatic change, and your child for a new brother or sister. With warmth, inspiration, and humor, Leonard carefully examines the brand new family of four and what to expect as it evolves during the first weeks, the first months, and finally that first year.AUTHORBIO: Joan Leonard is a former contributing editor of Parents magazine and the author of What to Do to Improve Your Child's Manners and Tales from Toddler Hell. Her articles have appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers including Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, Glamour, Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, Parenting, Child, and The New York Times. She lives in Northport, New York, with her husband and two children.

Disappointed.......2007-09-15
I bought this book in eager (happy!) anticipation of my second child. However, after only reading the first 7 pages of the book, I stopped. The Author seemed to hyper-focus on all of the negative aspects of being pregnant and took the attitude "why would anyone ever do this again!" I find that pretty silly and immature. You're a Mom. Being a Mom is tough. Get over it, honey.
I wanted a book that talked about some serious differences between my first and second pregnancy - not a book that talked me INTO having the second one. I'm already pregnant... and HAPPY about it!
If you were one of those women who complained about every aspect of being pregnant and then complained about every aspect of being a new Mom, this book is for you! You will be in good company. If you are a strong woman who is confident in your mothering skills and family planning choices, you will find this book negative, trite and immature.
Easy read.......2007-08-19
This is a great book that is easy to read. It helps you get ready for the new little one!
A bit disappointing.......2007-03-08
As I was reading this, I kept waiting for the part where I was going to feel better about having a second child. Instead, I was laid in bed with eyes wide open. It seemed to be all truthful, but I was looking to set my mind at ease and it never happen.
Realistic view, good coverage, I feel much more prepared now.......2006-08-25
I read the other reviews before purchasing the book and was drawn more to it because of the great difference in opinions, either hating or loving the book. I think the book is very good and provides a realistic, balanced view. Instead of being more anxious, negative or even regretful after reading it, I felt calm and more prepared.
Good coverage and worth reading several times. I'd highly recommend it.
Review.......2006-07-27
some very useful hints for older child when bringing baby home. most of it is common sense, but there are some good ideas i am using. Some of the anecdotes are comical.
Note, the content is almost identical to "And Baby Makes Four".
Book Description

Home is the arms holding you.......2003-06-15
Sex education for 3-6yr olds should be simple but should also reassure that they started life like everyone else in the world. It goes on to say why birthparents could not be parents is about them and not about the child. Using simple almost coloring-book style outline drawings (which my son does love to color in) it tells how life began, how birth happens, that every child is born to a woman. It also avoids the "a man is in love with a woman" problem that I wanted to avoid and instead talks of biology of a man's sperm and womans egg joining. From there to the "that child is you" part are many places to talk about your child's own adoption. This book is suitable for young child as well as infant adoption and for children that have been in foster care too. The womb that floats on a page unconnected to a woman is harder to explain but over-all this is a good book, much less complicated than many.
Book Description
A reissue of the classic 1975 memoir that Elie Wiesel called "deeply stirring…important and enriching."
In this significant and lasting account, Betty Jean Lifton, acclaimed author of several books on the psychology of the adopted, tells her own story of growing up at a time when adoptees were still in the closet. Twice Born recounts her early struggle with the loneliness and isolation of not knowing her birth parents; her identification, as a journalist in the Far East, with the orphans left behind by American soldiers in Japan and Vietnam; and the guilt she experiences over what feels like a betrayal of her adopted parents as she sets off on a forbidden quest to find her roots.
With the mounting suspense of a detective novel, Twice Born explores the difficulty of searching for one's past when records are sealed, and the complexity of reuniting with a birth mother from whom one has been separated by both time and social taboos. More than a vivid and poignant memoir, Lifton has given us a story of mothering and mother-loss, attachment and bonding, secrets and lies, and the human need for origins.

Enlightening.......2007-04-30
In this wonderful volume, BJ Lifton conquers the ghost territory known only to members of the adoption triad--adopted children, birth parents and adoptive parents.
That is to say, each member of the triad traverses the adoption journey haunted, as it were, by spirits of "would have's" "could have's" and "should have's"---those beings they imagine they could have had, or been--- if only their birth parents had raised them, if only they had not forsaken their birth children, if only they could have born biological children themselves.
At the time this book was first published, in 1973, this topic was still quite taboo. Adoptive children were supposed to be grateful for the new lives they had been given and never to look back, just as birth parents were supposed to give their children to those better suited to raise them than they, and as adoptive parents were to raise their new children and never reflect on the ones they might have had, if only....
But for all three members of the triad, and especially for the children, the ghost beings---who they might have been, and who their birth parents might have been---are powerful psychological forces with which, even today, the educational, medical and psychological communities are all too unfamiliar.
People assume that adoptive children (barring illnesses of any kind) will develop in the same ways as all other children, but as BJ Lifton shows us from her own upbringing, this is far from true. Such children carry other beings with them, secret selves, and secret birth parents, who live in their imaginations, and whom they need to discover and meet in order to develop a complete sense of self.
Herein, Lifton offers readers the very daring, candid observations she made concerning her own journey through self-discovery, the process of determining what it means to be adopted, and what it means to each and every adopted child to discover the biological roots from which they hail.
This book is superbly written, and should be required reading not only for adoptive parents, but for all members of the educational, psychological, social services and medical communities who ever come in contact with adopted children. Reading it was truly enlightening.

Traces her journey and feelings........2006-11-06
The author's written several books on the psychology of the adopted, but here provides her own autobiographical experience, telling of a life where adoptees were still kept in the dark about their identification. As an adult she not only identified with orphans left behind by American soldiers in Japan and Vietnam; she embarked on her own journey to discover the forbidden knowledge of her own adoptive parents and her roots. TWICE BORN: MEMORIES OF AN ADOPTED DAUGHTER traces her journey and feelings.
Diane C. Donovan
California Bookwatch
A powerful memoir that should not be generalized.......2003-09-11
This is a truly moving book with poignant descriptions of Lifton's suffering as a child. She was adopted at age 2-1/2, told of her adoption at age 7 and warned by her harsh and controlling adoptive mother never to tell anyone, especially her father, that she knew the secret. Lifton grew up with the poisonous idea that an adopted child is the product of an "evil deed that hangs over most adoptions." The little girl was told that her natural parents were dead, which was a lie. It is easy to see how the adult author of Twice Born came to the view that a person is "fragmented" as long as she lacks a link with biological kin, that an adoptee is forced out of the natural flow of generational continuity, as others know it, and feels as if having been forced out of nature itself. Seen in these terms, adoptees become impotent creatures who have been denied free will. I am very moved by the story but want to say that this is the voice of one adoptee whose experience we should take careful note of but at the same time refrain from universalizing. Not all adoptees are raised by such harsh and emotionally vacant parents and also never had adopted friends with whom to discuss things. I am an adoptive mother of a daughter whom we adopted at age 4 days and who grew up into a contented, strong-willed and self-reliant young lady. Of course, we told her of her adoption, but she was not interested in searching for her natural parents. Unlike Lifton who as a toddler had experienced separation, loss, grief, mourning...going from mother to Infant's Home to Foster Home to Adoptive Home, our daughter and the other adoptees in our neighborhood were spared such miseries. Luckily, our birthmother looked for us and today we have a wonderful relationship with her and her family. Our daughter, however, does not feel she changed since meeting her birthmother, or that she became "whole" as if she had been fragmented before. Several of her neighborhood adoptee friends are also not interested in searching and consider themselves well-adjusted adults and parents. I wonder whether Lifton would have become a happy adoptee if she had been raised by loving and honest adoptive parents. Unhappily, when she found her natural mother and the link with biological kin was made, she discovered that now she "had two mothers instead of one, but since both had disappointed me, I had none." Yes, the bitter search for one's roots may take one to an empty place. It seems that the impulse of the adoptee to find the original mother, an urge traceable through the ages, exists as a force independent of the desired object, and continues even when the object has been found. Gisela Gasper Fitzgerald, author of ADOPTION: An Open, Semi-Open or Closed Practice?
Thought provoking enough to prompt me to write my own story!.......2001-08-21
Twice Born is a wonderful and thought-provoking account of one adoptee's journey. I related on so many levels that it prompted me to write my own story.
Happiness is truly found in healing.
Kasey Hamner, Author of "Whose Child?:An Adoptee's Healing Journey from Relinquishment through Reunion and Beyond"
Excellent writing in an adoptee's view of adoption.......1999-06-04
One thing's for sure: BJ Lifton can write. And she understands adoption intimately. This book really tells it like it is, from relinquishment to long after the reunion. As a birthmother, I found "Twice Born" an extremely valuable look into the mind of the adopted person.

Book Description
When a breach birth leaves Paulo severely disabled, his father, the articulate, unsentimental Professor Frigerio, struggles to come to terms with his son’s condition. Face to face with his own limitations, Frigerio confronts the strange way society around him handles Paolo’s handicaps and observes his surprising gifts. In spare, deeply affecting episodes, the professor of language explores the nuanced boundaries between “normal” and “disabled” worlds.
A remarkable memoir of fathering, winner of the 2001 Strega Prize, Italy’s most prestigious literary honor,
Born Twice is noted Italian author Guiseppe Pontiggia’s American debut. Sometimes meditative, often humorous, and always probing, Pontiggia’s haunting characters linger and resound long after the book is done.

A Fine Find.......2007-06-07
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, or in this instance the dust jacket. I picked this gem up at a used bookstore in the French Quarter in New Orleans because of the beautifully colored butterflies on its cover, because of its publisher-- I seldom go wrong with Knopf-- and after reading that its author whom I had never heard of previously had won Italy's most prestigious literary award for it. Giuseppe Pontiggia's BORN TWICE (translated by Oonagh Stransky), labeled "A Novel of Fatherhood" is I suppose appropriate reading on the eve of Father's Day as well.
The narrator is Professor Frigerio, a teacher who relates 30 years of the life of his son Paolo and how his son's disability affects the members of his family's lives. Paolo is the victim of an incompetent physician who should have ordered a C section for his mother and did not. The sad results are that both Paolo's speech and gait are impaired although he is quite brilliant. The Frigerio family and their circumstances sound all too familiar: the doctors at first are not completely honest about Paolo's diagnosis. Then a psysiotherapist tells them the truth ('"But this child has brain damage!'") and they choose to reject her. Paolo's older brother Alfredo is jealous because his disabled brother gets all the attention. In an obligatory group therapy session that the Frigerios attend, a woman whose son isn't very seriously damaged takes great comfort in knowing that others in the group are worse off, "like a first-class traveler visiting the third-class deck." After all the exercises that the father puts his son through, he realizes that Paolo would have made the same improvement if left alone, but all the gymnastics had given the family hope.
Professor Frigerio and his family will wrap themselves around your heart. Having a brain-damaged child is nothing that any parent would ask for. Although the game isn't easy, this family, however, makes the best of the hand they have been dealt. Some of their trials are almost too painful too read. The novel opens with the young Paolo's falling down an escalator when his father fails to catch him. Of course a crowd gathers. [Frigerio:] "I watch him walk off, reeling like a drunken sailor. No like a spastic. Suddenly he turns and says in that labored way of his, '"If you're embarrassed you don't have to walk next to me. I'll be all right.'" In another section Professor Frigerio attempts unsuccessfully to photograph his son with his chin in his hands so he would look like a cherub in a Renaissance painting. The book is of course about the love of a father for his son: "Sometimes I shut my eyes and then quickly open them again. Who's that boy [now 30 years of age] walking unsteadily near the wall? I've never seen him before. He's disabled. I try to think about what my life would have been like without him in it, but I can't. We can think of many lives but we can never disavow our own."
Finally, the significance of the title of the novel: when Paolo was three months old an honest and kind physician told his parents the truth about his condition: "'These children are born twice. They have to learn to get by in a world that their first birth make difficult for them. Their second birth depends on you. . . Yet ultimately their rebirth will be yours too. . . I have no more to tell you.' Thirty years later I want to say thank you."
Like all good literature, BORN TWICE tells the truth. For that we can thank Mr. Pontiggia.
A heartfelt story which defies classification........2002-11-06
Labeling this book a "novel" does it as much of a disservice as labeling the main character's son Paolo "disabled." In both cases, the labels are limiting. And limits are what the book is all about--the limits Prof. Frigerio feels in his ability to help his son, the limits of the public institutions set up to help the family, the limits of everyone's patience, the limits of Frigerio's ability to identify with his son's problems, and his son's limits in helping the world to know him and his abilities.
More a memoir about Paolo's childhood than a novel, the book sensitively and uncompromisingly portrays the difficulties of raising a child whose abilities are limited in some areas but normal in others. A medical mistake at Paolo's birth has left him unable to walk or talk like other children, though he is intelligent, and Professor Frigerio and his wife must take the lead in finding help for him and for themselves. Early on, a doctor tells Frigerio, "These children are born twice. Their second birth depends on you, on what you are able to give to them." Taking this to heart, Frigerio works to find therapists, support groups, a nurturing school environment, psychologists, and whatever else it takes to ensure that his son has the best possible chance for success.
By turns philosophical, humorous, resentful, and highly sensitive, Frigerio is an acute observer of the reactions of other people, including the medical profession, toward his son, and he speaks to the reader in uncompromising terms. Intentionally or not, however, he remains at a distance, as much an observer as a participant in his son's life, and his wife and older son Alfredo, who are as directly affected as Frigerio, appear infrequently. Paolo's brief appearances late in the book, as he deals with a crank phone call from a teenage girl, with a vacation trip, and with an opportunity to appear on stage give the reader an opportunity to know him a bit as a person, rather than as the almost silent inspiration for this book. The author's dispassionate approach is successful in maintaining the dignity of all the characters, an unusual (and welcome) approach in these tell-all times, though it does come at the expense of some reader involvement.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
After those on the side of good, e.g. not the Storm King and his
servants work out the whole deal with the three powerful swords, there
must come a final reckoning, especially after so many pages already.
Guess what though, this does have princesses, as well as the
dragon. Here, one needs rescuing, and one is crazy, there is still a
war to be won and nonhumans to deal with.
Wow!!!.......2006-08-18
I am speechless. Tad Williams wraps up Memory Sorrow and THorn, leaving the reader with a feeling that they would like to know the further adventures of the characters they have grown to love for 3,000 pages. That's the only drawback when reading a lengthy novel with solid consistant character development, is you kind of wish the story went on some more. I burned myself out reading this one (it only took two and a half days) but it was worth it. The pieces are moved, and the adventuring continues and one by one everyone arrives at the site of the final struggle against evil...I dont want to give away anything, so I will say that on its own, if you havent read the series, go back and start with the first book, its a winner of a story through all of them, and it is worthless and would be pointless to start with this one, even with the sinopsis in the beginning to help you out, and if you have read the first two books and the first half of the third, keep on, man, you will not regret it...only downside is that the ending seems much happier than it should have been due to circumstances.
A Satisying End.......2006-08-14
To Green Angel Tower concludes the tale set in the fictional world of Osten Ard.
As the evil minions of the undead Sithi Storm King prepare for the kingdom-shattering culmination of their dark sorceries and King Elias is drawn ever deeper into their nightmarish, spell-spun world, the loyal allies of Prince Josua desperately struggle to rally their forces at The Stone of Farewell. And with time running out, the remaining members of the now-devastated League of the Scroll have also gathered there to unravel mysteries from the forgotten past. For if the League can reclaim these age-old secrets of magic long-buried beneath the dusts of time, they may be able to reveal to Josua and his army the only means of striking down the unslayable foe.
But whether or not the League is successful in its quest, the call of battle will lead the valiant followers of Josua Lackhand across storm tossed seas brimming with bloodthirsty kilpa, through forests swarming with those both mind- and soul-lost, through ancient caverns built by legendary Dwarrows and to the haunted halls of Asu'a itself--the Sithi's greatest stronghold, and now the seat of mankind's power in Osten Ard.
A great ending to a great series........2006-06-27
All the other books in this series I gave 4 stars but this is a definate 5 star book. There is a little to much wandering in the dark for my liking, but it moves at a rapid pace and really seems to build up a great sence of urgency as the book progresses and the story becomes more hectic at the end. It has some good plot twists and not all the good guys live wich is something I like. Although a few to many lived in my opinion. It also has a good sense of closure to it. It has a couple full chapters of what happens after the final battle and doesnt just leave the reader wondering how it all worked out afterwards. The story becomes pretty complex toward the end and I found my self with 150 pages left thinking there was no way it could possibly be completely finished and still be fulfilling in that few of pages. But somehow it ends perfectly and doesnt skimp on the excitement. A great read and a great series, Im glad I suffered through the Dragonbone chair and kept with the series this final book is spectacular and brought the series to a great finish.
excellent yet somewhat cliché fantasy [no spoilers].......2006-04-07
"To Green Angel Tower, Part 2" finishes the two-part conclusion to "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" series and primarily follows Simon and Prince Josua. The author's exceptional writing compliments moments of riveting action and ideas with thorough narratives of emotional and physical exertion.
The Miriamele and Simon romance continues to place the reader during awkward situations especially since he decided to become her protector. However, Camaris shines above all and would create a tremendous solo tale. Because of the reduced interaction with Sludig, Cadrach, Sisqi, and even the Sithi, the inordinate amount of dialogue and traveling among the remaining characters impedes the final developments. Unfortunately these revelations are crammed into the ending chapters instead of propagated throughout providing more frequent interest.
Sufficiently detailed maps precede both of the two sections relating to understanding Simon's vague visions. Conventional characters and races inhabit the vivid realm, such as the Sithi or Fair Folk containing Tolkien's Elven traits and mannerisms. The great assortment of royal characters might leave one hoping for a more comprehensive appendix, perhaps a section in alphabetical order or with a genealogical chart.
I highly recommend this series to any fan of the fantasy genre.
Thank you.
