We are excited to announce Joyful Birth: More Childbirth Stories Told by Doulas will be released this month, November 2012!
We wanted to share the beautiful cover and some wonderful words of praise:
"Take your time with this book. Read and savor and
learn from each of these joyous birth stories -- each one different,
but all touching and personal! In a time when the stories that most of
us read and see in the media are frightening and sensationalized, here
is a collection of inspiring and reassuring accounts. This, the second
anthology published by “The Lisas,” is as full of wisdom and
inspiration as their first, Bearing Witness. It should be read
by every expecting parent and those who care for them! Enjoy!"

"In order to interpret this anthology of joyful birth stories, I explored scientific databases via the keyword “Joy”. It appears that this term is almost unknown compared with “anxiety”, “fear”, “aggressiveness”, “psychological distress” and “depression”. We must be grateful to Lisa & Lisa for bringing in limelight what is still a neologism in scientific circles."

Bearing Witness is now officially a Series! :) We look forward to many more books in the future.
