"One baby is a miracle. To be given two at once is a gift beyond words," writes
Seymour, already a successful children's author, in the introduction to
her debut child-rearing book. The star of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman here gives
a personal account of having twins at age 45. Best described as a diary of
her pregnancy interwoven with advice and information on tests, ultrasounds, amniocentesis,
exercise, and general dos and don'ts, this is not the story of an average
mother's pregnancy (the star could afford special care, clothing, grooming,
etc.). Yet her voice is compelling and reaches out to comfort and assist anyone
expecting twins. Also, Seymour and coauthor Novotny's counsel is sound, with
clear insets that answer leading concerns. (Novotny authored the library standby
The Joy of Twins, written in a similar style.) A good choice for public libraries,
given the popularity of the author and the paucity of useful books on twins.
