Why I Wrote Alchemy of Motherhood

The Alchemy of Motherhood by Casey  Keen
"Now here’s a topic we don’t see much written about, and indeed, one that very few women are talking about. And maybe that’s because as a society, we give no cares about women’s experiences in childbirth, so women know their stories won’t be attended " Read more of this review »

Katy Thanks for the friend request! I see you set your book in Savannah, GA, but live in PA. Are you originally from Savannah area, or is it just an area you like?

Oh, I see you've been responding to profile comments here. It took me about a year and a half to figure this out, but if you respond here, the person to whom you are responding will not see it; GR only notifies YOU of comments on your profile. To ensure whomever you are replying to sees your response, go on over to their profile and leave it there. Rather illogical and counter-intuitive, isn't it?

Lovely to meet you!


Emily Carver Thanks for the friend request!!
