This is a collection of stories about birth and life in the new age. It is a string of precious beads in which the thread holding them together is one of Dr. McGarey’s own interpretive ability and philosophy. As often as possible, she quotes the stories as they were written for her by individuals experiencing the events. The remainder of the tales are from her own experience in delivering babies into the world and taking care of people and their problems in the course of her medical practice.
