Product Description
Creating a Life is a humorous and heartfelt sharing of the bumpy road that led Corbin to motherhood and a career as a writer. Deformed sperm, a miscarriage, repressed memories of being raped and quitting her job to become an editor— only to have that publication become bankrupt—were a few hurdles that she crossed along the way. But Corbin not only survives, she thrives. By birthing her son at home, she reclaims her body. By quitting her unfulfilling job to become a writer, she reclaims her life.
Creating a Life was nominated for the 2011 Pacific Northwest Booksellers and Washington State book awards
"By bravely—and humorously—sharing her deepest secrets and confronting her biggest fears, Corbin Lewars makes one of the strongest arguments out there that pregnancy and childbirth aren't simply about biology doing its thing. Becoming a parent is also about figuring out where you've been and where you want to be."
Marisa Cohen, senior editor at Glamour and author of Deliver This!
"This book is for every woman who has doubted her ability to do what she really wanted to, and it is the proof that we all can."
Hip Mama
Creating A Life is one of the most exquisite and brave memoirs I have read in years. The message of hope and dedication is universal and steps outside the confines of the story itself, reaching women of all ages.
Ann Hite, Feminist Review, 3/10/2010
