“No matter how many bazillions of women have gone through it, becoming a new mother – while thrilling – can be crazy-making and isolating. But having Purple Leaves, Red Cherries at your side is like being surrounded by women, women who don’t care if your house is a wreck, saying ‘We understand.’” -- Lynn Harris, award-winning journalist and mother of two

"Purple Leaves, Red Cherries is a treasure... [it] will become a favorite, to give and to receive.” -- Debra Gilbert Rosenberg, psychotherapist and author of The New Mom’s Companion and Motherhood Without Guilt
