Whether home­birthing is your steez or not, there’s no deny­ing the delight of this book cover:

In the Spir­it of Home­birth: Mod­ern Women, an Ancient Choice is a col­lec­tion of sto­ries across a panoply of cul­tures, socioe­co­nom­ic class­es, reli­gions, and envi­ron­ments from women and their fam­i­lies who opt­ed for this con­tem­po­rary expres­sion of an ancient tra­di­tion in childbearing.
